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.

This public tree has about 60,100 people. Every person in the tree is related by birth or marriage to at least one other person in the tree - no strays. The people in the tree come mainly from four projects.

My family tree. The original project begun about 1998. ID numbers less than about 6,000
Canberra and Queanbeyan Pioneers. The next 30,000 begun about 2004. Sourced almost entirely from HAGSOC's excellent 'Biographical Register of Canberra and Queanbeyan'. The project began when I decided to add siblings, spouses and parents for a relation with an entry in the Register. 12 years work.
Wagga Pioneers. I moved to Wagga and thought I would extend the Queanbeyan project by adding people from Wagga Wagga & District Family History Society's 'Pioneers of Wagga Wagga and District'. About 10,300 people added over about a year.
Tumut Valley Pioneers. During the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020, I decided to extend the above projects by adding pioneers of the Tumut Valley. Initial sources were Snowden's 'Pioneers of the Tumut Valley' and 'Relict of ... Lives of Pioneering Women of Tumut and District'. Excellent references published by Tumut Family History Group. I've also added material from newspapers of the time - especially, death records, obituaries and weddings from 'Tumut and Adelong Times'. This project is in its early stage and might take a few years. I plan to extend to the upper Monaro (Adaminaby, Kiandra, Cooma, Jindabyne).

I upload new information to this website about every 3 months. My motivation for these projects is to provide public information for people seeking to trace ancestors and what became of them. Much of the information I provide can be difficult to find.
If you find errors - anything incorrect (dates, places, wrong parents, wrong children), and you have evidence, I would love to fix them. Or, if you have information that would extend my projects, do not hestiate to contact me on the email link below. I do not publish information on living people - which means I'm not much interested in people born after about 1920, and I usually distrust material from before about 1770 without extremely good sources.
