Indented Pedigree
This records page is dedicated to those families who used the Rowden surname at some point but who appear to have started with a more distant spelling or variant of the surname. See the variants page for more.
An indented pedigree format displays the family descendants with each successive generation indented to the right. For more information see the main family records page.
As with the main records page every attempt is made to update it on a regular basis. If you find your family amongst the charts and can provide more details (or corrections), please let me know either through the message board or e-mail ...

Part of the family moved from Norfolk to Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire in the 1880s and started using the Rowden spelling from the early 1900s.

39 | This family adopted the Rowden surname after forming it from a variant spelling of a middle name, Rourden. Gerard Walter Courtenay Rowden was born Wilfrid Walter Wallace Wotton in 1880. He was also know as Wilfrid Rourden Leigh and even Walter Courtenay Rowden but seems to have used the Rowden surname consistently after his second marriage in 1922. |
