Searching for Richard and Anne Rowden, with son named Eric. They were my foster parents in 1980. I would love for them to know that they were incredibly helpful and left a huge impression on my life. They lived in Scarborough at 22 Stanwell. It appears the house may have been sold at some point, not quite certain. I just received my foster docs and found their address. Thank you for anyone's help

Would anyone know anything about Mary Susan Rowden, Emily Rowden, Jack Rowden or Patricia Rowden. Mary Susan was my Grandmother, Emily my Aunt, Jack my Father and Patricia was Emily's Daughter. Adopted and taken to Canada. They were all from St. Thomas in Devon originally, but then moved to Bedwelty in South Wales.

I have been steadily going through all of the paper associated with my genealogy research (shredding/recycling a lot along the way and will eventually start scanning the keepers). I came across a paper listing One Name Studies Webinars and thought I should do a Surname search to see what would come up. My first hit was Rowden. It appears that I am the 9th great granddaughter of Christopher Rowden (1631 - 1663) through my 3rd great grandmother Anne Rowden (b1800). I would be interested in connecting with anyone else who is related to this line.

Not sure if this the right place to post this, but I've been seeing this post being dhared on Facebook and figured it can't hurt to share it here too. Jim Orell- I'm trying to find my cousin Judy Rowden's two brothers. She is in Etobicoke hospital with little time left due to cancer. Their names are Charles Rowden and Eric Rowden. They all grew up in the Scarborough area and separated from each other through the years. She would dearly love to see them and say good bye. Please if anyone may know them or where they may be reached we would be very grateful. Judy is 76 and Eric would be about 54 or 55 and Charles would be about 65. Thank you !

I had the good fortune to visit your dad when he was living in Red Deer. I looked him up in the early 90's. Sorry to hear about his passing.

Trevor Stanley Rowden   17/04/2005 23:08 Coquitlam, British Columbia, Canada.
This is very interesting. I have been looking up a bit of our family history tying to figure out where we were from originally. My grandfather, George William Thomas Rowden was born in Canada but I'm pretty sure that his father was from England. I have found another site that has a bit of our info on it. http://www.rowdensurname.org/pedigree/rowden15.htm I think that we also have some relatives in Dublin and the US as well. Thanks.
A Rowden   17/04/2005 05:21 Ontario, Canada.
I have recently read the message from Barb Roschuk on this site, and feel that I have information that may support your inquiry. The email shown did not work when I sent a reply message, therefore you can email back to the address shown should you get a chance. Regards AR

I am very happy to have been pointed in the direction of this site by my sister Sharon. There has been a lot of useful info and interesting facts about the Rowdens. I have many questions about my family history. My father was Kancel James Rowden of Port Hope, Ontario. He had 2 children with Eileen, and 7 with my mother Jean (deceased). If anyone has any additional information on this please contact me through my daughters email, joanne_roschuk@yahoo.com. Thank-You and keep up the excellent work on the site!!

My maiden name is Rowden and I would like to find out if I have any ancestors in Europe, do not think there are any in Canada. My grandparents immigrated to Canada I believe in the 30's. My grandfather's name was Melvin Thomas Rowden, married to Jean Riddell. I think my grandparents immigrated from Scotland.

Hi everyone. My name is Jennifer Elizabeth and I have 2 older brothers named Michael Patrick and Mark Edward John who currently live in Ontario, Canada. Our father, Michael Edward John is the oldest of 4 children born to Margaret Elizabeth (nee Wallace) and Harold Edward Albert Rowden of Lewisham in Loughborough in July of 1943. My father imigrated to Canada when he was only 3 months old. My grandfather, Harold, was a Gunman in the Royal Canadian Artillery. My grandparents last known address was 18 Sandrock Road in Lewisham. My father was born at Maternity Hospital Long Whatton Castle Donington RD (at least that's what is says on his birth certificate.) I believe that my great-grandfather's name was Osborne. My grandfather was one of 6 children (3 sets of twins) born to Osborne and spouse (name unknown). I have more information regarding my family such as facts and a family tree but I have presently misplaced it (in the process of moving). If anyone believes they may have connections to me, I would love to hear from you.

I have just spend the last 2 hours visiting your site and many of it's extensions. Happily, I found a reference under the Rowden Family Records relating to Zeal Monachorum, which specifically refers to Port Hope Ontario Canada where I was raised and my family has lived for generations. This piece of information will help us in our local geneology. Thank you, and feel free to communicate if there are other sources we might access. The evening's search commenced with our niece having to do a Family History and Coat of Arms search for a school project. I've enjoyed the search and would like to look further. Sincerely Gayle

Very pleased to find your site. My gr.gr. grandfather was William Rowdon (1848-1923). He was born in Bow, Devonshire, England- son of John Rowdon & Elizabeth Clement. Sibling thought to be: Thomas of Torquay, Jessie (Gayer), Emma (Burfield), Abraham and possibly others. William came to Canada about 1856 and later settled in St. Catharines , Ontario He married Mary Isobella Bennett, had a large family. When researching as a teen my grandmother always reminded me not to get the spelling of "Rowdon" mixed with other spellings. Will visit your site often. Would like to hear from other "Rowdon" researchers.

I feel like I have struck gold! I am amazed at the work that you have done for the Rowden name!! For years I had only met a few Rowden relatives and they were in the Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada area. Was involved in the ministry, am a journeyman electrician, worked in in fire protection devices, and now a career change... computer information systems. I hope to get in contact with more of the Rowden family and discuss a lot of history/stories. my icq number is 32361934, under the name of "Johnny" Wish you all the best.

Under George Rowden family tree (B c.1801) the marriage date for my father Jack Arthur Rowden and June McArthur (my mother and father is 12 December 1952. As well this summer I tried looking up my uncle Cecil Rowden in Red Deer, (last visited in 1991) however he is no longer listed in the phone book. I was trying to track down dates of marriage for Cecil, Phyllis and William (Bill). My father Jack Rowden was deceased in December 1971 so that can be added to the record as well. Any questions let me know. Sorry it took so long to get back to you.

Interesting site. I'm a descendant of Rowdens who originally immigrated from Bedford, England. Seven brothers, including a Septimus. I was recently told of an exhibit in the Imperial War Museum, on women who were spying for England during the WWII, I think. One of them was Diane, or Diana Rowden. She apparntly was killed in France, during the war . Any info on origin would be appreciated.

Hi Gavin Just visiting the site again since December. I have some info to add to the list of Rowden's. I noticed you had my daughter Amber listed but don't have my wife listed. Janice Ann Rowden (nee Seifert) (b1964) is my wife. Just to give you some more info to help fill in the blanks. Great site. I'll be back. Take care. Kent Rowden

I am researching Rowden surnames throughout Canada to, hopefully, put out a history book for interested family members. Right now my search is mainly in Ontario. I am looking for any younger members of the family who might have links to different branches and know of others still alive willing to share their history. I am making an email mailing list for anyone interested. Any stories, facts, history about your part of the tree, would be appreciated and welcomed. I have hundreds of pictures that I am willig to scan and share with others, as I know they are Rowden's, but i am unsure exactly who is who.Thanks!

I have been searching for information on a late 19th century painter named Tom Rowden. I have a painting by him that was sold at an auction at Exeter in Devon. Would you have any information on him and his life. Thank you Mark Jones

Terrific Site!!! I'm doing tons of research on the Rowdens from Port Hope. I've noticed quite a few people on this site who are interested in the same info. I'm going to establish an e-mail list for any people who can contribute / or want info on the Port Hope Rowdens. E-mail me if you'd like to be put on the list.

Hi Gavin. I got this site info from my brother Rob Rowden in Ottawa, Ontario as well as some family lineage info and figured I'd check it out. Great site.

Hey! This is the most awesome sight! What a wicked Idea! Well, my grampa was Ralph Orel Rowden and his brother Donald (Doc) was a wicked athlete and was the first coach of the Oshawa Generals. Im really interested in my roots, I know that I have relatives in Port Hope and the states its just a matter of finding them. But this is a great help. Thanx

Very interesting page. My family came from England (I don't know where exactly) in or around 1851 and settled in Port Hope Ontario on Lake Ontario. Thanks for the info. Rob R.

Hi, Gavin-Thanks for your Christmas card and your website information. My son down-loaded it for me some time ago, but I am finally on the net myself. I'm very impressed with your site and wish to thank you for your help in the past. When I publish the next part of our family history this winter, the Rowden section will be included, and I will send you a copy. All the best. Wendy

It's nice to see so many people with the same name as me-my whole life I've never known any Rowden's that weren't related to me. My father is from Somerset, England and he has traced our family back to the mid 19th century. I'd love to find out if I have any long lost cousins!

I happened upon this site last week and noticed my 1st cousin's remarks (Barb Grandy). I am the daughter of Jack Martin Rowden, twin brother of Audrey Rowden Pomeroy. She has given most of the information but I would like to add my great grandfather was John Henry Rowden, also born in Port Hope, Walter Rowden was his brother and lived in Oshawa, Ontario. Other sisters were Sue, Kate & Mary Grace who married a Haskill. If anyone has any further information on this line I would be glad to hear from you.

I'm not sure if I've already done this once but thought I'd just make sure I'm here. Please delete one of these messages (Preferably this one) should you check and find two. Thanks in advance. Will be back soon. Neato!@!!!

My mother's maiden name was Rowden. Full name Audrey Grace Rowden. She was born in Port Hope, Ontario Canada in 1924. She was one of seven children. Her fathers name was Percival Rowden and her mothers maiden name was Ellen Hardcastle Martin. There are only three of the seven children still living. All are in Port Hope I was just checking the web for my own maiden name Pomeroy and decided to check into the name Rowden. If I can try and get you any information, please just e-mail me. Great site. I haven't looked at it all yet but am going to do so now. Keep up the great work.

I'm trying to trace my family as far back as I can on my father's side. I have some information but would appreciate any help you may be able to give me as to how I may find out more about my ancestors. My grandmother (Wallace) came from Scotland and my grandfather (Rowden) came from England. I would be so ever thankful if you could help me in any way. Jennifer E. Rowden
