| Personal Notes: |
| Extensive search could not find her death which must be between 1851 when she was in the 1851 census and 1871 when her husband was a widower. Several Ancestry trees have her death at 24 Jun 1835 - which is obviously rubbish. Did she have a daughter who died then? |

| - Notes: Another link with the Chown family was the marriage of Jehoshabeth Alice
Townsend Bowcher to Christopher Chown 1804, son of Elizabeth nee Rowe and Charles Chown. His occupation in the Census of 1851 is 'lodging-house keeper' of 31 Upper Paul Street, Exeter. Having been burdened with such an extraordinary name, Jehoshabeth exercised remarkable restraint in naming her four daughters, all baptised at Alphington's 15th century church of St Michael and All Angels, said to be the finest church of its type in the country. Thee girls were all called after relatives with nice safe names: Eleanor Bowcher Chown 1827; Elizabeth 1829; Eliza Harriott 1830 and Harriet 1832. |
