Hi...

this is the mystery of all mysterys on my family tree......heres what i have:

John Rowley born ?...1810 (not on 1851 census as 1 yr dead)
Catherine Rowley (formerly Freney)...born c1821 mother...born in county mayo.
Patrick Rowley born c1838.....son..county mayo
Thomas Rowley born c1842.....son,,,.county mayo
Owen Rowley born c1845.....son......grindale? (near scarborough / bridlington)
John Rowley born c1847....son....born in scarborough.

the above is shown in the 1851 census.....with John the father missing as he is deceased by 1 year (diseased lungs).........my question is...can anyone follow Owen Rowley....i cant seem to find what happens to him at all.

The rest of the sons i have managed to trace reasonably well.

Any help would truly be much appreciated.

Thanks a lot

should point out....it appears the family including the father John moved over from ireland in the mid 1840s due to the potato famine in ireland.
in the 1851 census the mother and 4 sons are found in the scarborough workhouse....father died 1 year previous.........mother re-marries in 1857.

as mentioned ive traced the sons apart from Owen...but cant seem to find anything on him.

any help would be much appreciated.

Slightly puzzled. Does the 1851 show Owen as born in Ireland but living in Scarborough?

There is a possible in 1871 but born in Ireland living in Norton, Nottingham

Sorry, mix up on my part here.........its John the fourth son born in Grindale...Owen indeed is born in ireland............how do i obtain a birth certificate for a child born in ireland in the 1840s or indeed a marriage certificate for a marriage taken place in ireland?....i have no GROs.

thanks for your help.
