From:	Simon Rowson
I am Simon Richard Rowson (born 1963), son of Harold Richard Rowson (1920-2009) and grandson of John Thomas Rowson (dates?) both of Edmonton, London. I have (had?) a sister, Lynda Iris Rowson (married name Brown). As you can probably tell, we weren't a very close family but, before I sign out, I'd like to hear from any direct relatives who may be out there.

He is now 97 so it would have been back in the 20s and 30s, in Kenwood Road. He would love to know what happened to them, so if they are part of your family he and I would be grateful to know. Many thanks. Anne

Hello there, A couple of years ago my family found out that my father's biological father was Trevor Rowson from Nantyglo; this was previously unknown to my father, and came to us all as quite a shock. I've recently become interested in seeking out other Rowsons, so if anyone has any information on family links, alive or passed, it would be great to chat! All the best, William

Does anyone know anything about Martha Rowson, who as a young girl acted in four silent films in South Africa (between 1916 and 1918). It is possible that she might have had a brother called Bobby (Robert?), who also appeared in a film at that time.

Origin of Rowson		Date posted:	22nd May 2011, 02:52
From:	Richard Crowson
I thought your site was very interesting. Over the years family historians here in the U.S. have theorized that we are descended from England. Perhaps you have the correct spelling of the name that got "Americanized" into Crowson.

Rowsons of Culcheth		Date posted:	26th Mar 2011, 14:32
From:	Warren Butterworth
I have a lot of loose ends with the Rowsons of Culcheth/Glazebrook/Hollinfare all in the Warrington area. William Rowson married Betty and had Thomas who was christened at Hollinfare 13 Apr 1788. Thomas later married Ann or Annie from Culcheth and had a son John in about 1822. I can't find any marriage details or records of other children. Thomas and Ann are both in the 1861 census and I think Annie died in 1862. I cannot find anything else for Thomas. Can anyone help?

Rowsons In Liverpool		Date posted:	05th Jan 2010, 21:21
From:	Stephanie
Hi, Im looking for anyone who is descended from Joseph Rowson born 1865 in Liverpool and his wife Jane Mitchell also born in Liverpool around 1865; unfortunately the couple seperated before 1901. They had the following children, all born in Liverpool: John 1885, Naomi 1886, Joseph 1892, and William 1895. I am not sure what happened to John or William, but I do know about Naomi and Joseph. Naomi married William Smith who was born in Kendal in the lake district. They had three children, William born 1914 Elizabeth and James who were possibly twins and born in 1916. Naomi and William both died in 1940 and are buried at Anfield cemetry in Liverpool along with their son William who died in 1990 and daughter in law Edith who died in 1988. Joseph born in 1892 married Matilda Jane Rendell, my great grandmother, and they had one daughter Matilda in 1915 unfortunatley Joseph was killed in 1916 during the battle of the Somme. Any response would be very helpful. As for going further back in the tree: Joseph born 1865 Liverpool, his parents: Joseph born 1828 Liverpool and Jane born c.1828 Lpool, his parents: Joseph Rowson born 1793 Manchester and Mary born c1792 in Liverpool.

I would appreciate information from anyone re. my great-grandfather William Rowson. At the time of the 1901 Census he was living at Moston Bottoms, Manchester with his wife Ellen. He was aged 37. Their children were: George (16), Charles (15) who was killed in WW1, Emily (12), May (10) and Ellen (8). William's wife, Ellen, died aged 71 in 1932 and her death was registered at Salford. Their daughter, May, was my grandmother who married Francis Joseph Jenkinson at Salford in 1912. Thank you, Keith.

I have managed to trace her family back to a Johnathan Rowson born abt 1780 in St Albans Herts and married Ann had 5 children. He died 1849 in Marylebone. Do you have any information on him and his ancestors or can you point me to someone who might?

West Ashby Rowsons		Date posted:	11th May 2009, 03:55
From:	Leah Holden
In your research, have you run across any Rowsons from the Horncastle area of Lincolnshire? I had a great-great-great-grandfather Benjamin in Belchford who died in 1858 and a great-great-grandfather William, born in West Ashby in 1814, emigrated to Philadephia PA USA around 1865. My great-grandfather Benjamin was born in Stamford in 1850. I have quite a bit of information about this line of Rowsons. I am aware of some of the other Rowson lines in Lincolnshire but have never known the connections between any of them and my ancestors. Leah Holden, Ohio USA

Has anybody any information abut my grandmother, Christine Rowson who was married to Henry Hobson? She must have been born about 1880. She and her husband had four children - Derek Rowson, Elizabeth, Dorothy (I think) and Rodney. In their latter years they lived in St. Albans, Herts.

Rowson, Rowsome, Rowsam, Rowsham, Rousham		Date posted:	02nd Mar 2009, 10:10
From:	Adrian
My late mother's maiden name was ROUSHAM. You may wonder why I am posting this on the ROWSON website. I have researched the name world-wide, and all avenues lead back to families named ROWSHAM, ROWSAM, ROWSOME and ROWSOM in the late 1500's in the three neighbouring English counties of Oxfordshire, Warwickshire and Gloucestershire. Since one of the above variations is only one letter different from ROWSON, and since they sound practically identical, I wonder whether anyone has traced their roots back before 1600 and can overlap with the same geographical area. If so I look forward to hearing from you.
