Thread: owen of brinklow

i believe i have a great number of relatives living in brinklow in the 17 and 1800s, many of them seem to be boatmen on the grand union canal. i believe that a joseph owen born about 1777 in brinklow is my ancestor, however, there is amissing link between him and who could be his daughter, hannah owen b.circa 1826 i have never been able to find out the exact parentage of hannah she may be agrandaughter of josephs. the problem is that the boat families sometimes had births in other parts of the country and missed some of the census recordings

Hi wiredog,
In order to trace right ones was your Joseph Owen born 1777 Brinklow the son of William and Sarah or William and Grace(nee cotton)?
Did Joseph marry Avis Beeby in Brinklow on 4 June 1799. He is aged 64, a boatkeeper, in Brinklow with Evers (Avis) aged 62 , a son Richard and Joseph Wright, aged 10(possibly a grandchild). Is he widowed by 1851 and living with Hirons brothers?

Several baby Owen deaths in the 1840's- possibly grandchildren.
Is this the right Joseph Own

hi lola and pejay,
re my thread on owen of brinklow here is what i believe is the story:
my grandfather arthur owen b. sulgrave ox. 1897
my g.grandmother kate owen b. sulgrave 1882
" g.g.grandfather william owen b.brinklow warks 1842 m.jane tyrell b.1844
" g.g.g grandmother hannah owen b. brinklow 1824 m. robert shellard b.1817
then there is a question as to who is hannahs father if it was joseph owen b.1777 brinklow son of william and sarah he would have been a bit old by 1824 so there may be some other parentage. if she josephs daughter then i am possibly able to link her back to1600s in barford st michael in oxfordshire

hi lola,
answer to who hannah married is robert shellard, the brother of william who i believe to have been a soldier. the child produced was named after his father perhaps but kept the surname owen even after the marriage of hannah and robert who went on to have several more children. He could be named after his grandfather (or great grandfather) william owen b.1738 brinklow m.sarah randall b.1749, if joseph b.1777 is f or gf

TRying to remember wiredog, (Cannot lay my hands on book I wrote it in at moment.... will search later)
If I remember Hannah in census gives her birthplace as Brinklow. I had reckoned she must be the daughter of Joseph born 1809 (son of Joseph as Richard did not have a Hannah.
47 was a bit old for Avis/Evis to have a child albeit her last.
Who did Joseph born 1809 marry> Do you know?
