I am Simon Richard Rowson (born 1963), son of Harold Richard Rowson (1920-2009) and grandson of John Thomas Rowson (dates?) both of Edmonton, London. I have (had?) a sister, Lynda Iris Rowson (married name Brown). As you can probably tell, we weren't a very close family but, before I sign out, I'd like to hear from any direct relatives who may be out there. | ||||||||||||||||||||

Hello, I’m posting on behalf of someone who grew up with Jack and George Rowson (also Rita the eldest and Janet) in Eltham, London SE9. He is now 97 so it would have been back in the 20s and 30s, in Kenwood Road. He would love to know what happened to them, so if they are part of your family he and I would be grateful to know. Many thanks. Anne | ||||

Hello there, A couple of years ago my family found out that my father's biological father was Trevor Rowson from Nantyglo; this was previously unknown to my father, and came to us all as quite a shock. I've recently become interested in seeking out other Rowsons, so if anyone has any information on family links, alive or passed, it would be great to chat!

Does anyone know anything about Martha Rowson, who as a young girl acted in four silent films in South Africa (between 1916 and 1918). It is possible that she might have had a brother called Bobby (Robert?), who also appeared in a film at that time.

From: | Jim | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
I am researching my wife's great grandfather Robert Wilson Rowson. He was born in 1821 in East Kirby, Lincs., got a BA at Trinity College Dublin and became a schoolmaster in Shropshire. He was ordained a priest in 1854 and became vicar of Aylesby in N Lincs. He married Joanna Toft in 1867 and they had 5 children including my wife's grandmother Diana. Unfortunately Joanna died in 1876 and this led to his downfall. In 1878 he was arrested for drunkenness and later was given 3 months hard labour for stealing an overcoat. In the next year or so, leaving his children behind, he goes to Tasmania where in 1880 he marries a 20 year old called Mary Moebus. They have a child and he is next found teaching in Wanganui, NZ where he has an altercation with the Education Board. The next I find that he has returned to the UK where he died of TB (probably) in Stockport in 1892. I have more detailed information about the above as well as descendents and antecedents if anyone is interested, and would be interested if anyone has any more information on this colourful life! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I have a lot of loose ends with the Rowsons of Culcheth/Glazebrook/Hollinfare all in the Warrington area. William Rowson married Betty and had Thomas who was christened at Hollinfare 13 Apr 1788. Thomas later married Ann or Annie from Culcheth and had a son John in about 1822. I can't find any marriage details or records of other children. Thomas and Ann are both in the 1861 census and I think Annie died in 1862. I cannot find anything else for Thomas. Can anyone help? | ||||

Hi, Im looking for anyone who is descended from Joseph Rowson born 1865 in Liverpool and his wife Jane Mitchell also born in Liverpool around 1865; unfortunately the couple seperated before 1901. They had the following children, all born in Liverpool: John 1885, Naomi 1886, Joseph 1892, and William 1895. I am not sure what happened to John or William, but I do know about Naomi and Joseph. Naomi married William Smith who was born in Kendal in the lake district. They had three children, William born 1914 Elizabeth and James who were possibly twins and born in 1916. Naomi and William both died in 1940 and are buried at Anfield cemetry in Liverpool along with their son William who died in 1990 and daughter in law Edith who died in 1988. Joseph born in 1892 married Matilda Jane Rendell, my great grandmother, and they had one daughter Matilda in 1915 unfortunatley Joseph was killed in 1916 during the battle of the Somme. Any response would be very helpful. As for going further back in the tree: Joseph born 1865 Liverpool, his parents: Joseph born 1828 Liverpool and Jane born c.1828 Lpool, his parents: Joseph Rowson born 1793 Manchester and Mary born c1792 in Liverpool.

In your research, have you run across any Rowsons from the Horncastle area of Lincolnshire? I had a great-great-great-grandfather Benjamin in Belchford who died in 1858 and a great-great-grandfather William, born in West Ashby in 1814, emigrated to Philadephia PA USA around 1865. My great-grandfather Benjamin was born in Stamford in 1850. I have quite a bit of information about this line of Rowsons. I am aware of some of the other Rowson lines in Lincolnshire but have never known the connections between any of them and my ancestors. Leah Holden, Ohio USA | ||||

Has anybody any information abut my grandmother, Christine Rowson who was married to Henry Hobson? She must have been born about 1880. She and her husband had four children - Derek Rowson, Elizabeth, Dorothy (I think) and Rodney. In their latter years they lived in St. Albans, Herts. | ||||

Rowson, Rowsome, Rowsam, Rowsham, Rousham | Date posted: | 02nd Mar 2009, 10:10 | ||

From: | Adrian | |||
My late mother's maiden name was ROUSHAM. You may wonder why I am posting this on the ROWSON website. I have researched the name world-wide, and all avenues lead back to families named ROWSHAM, ROWSAM, ROWSOME and ROWSOM in the late 1500's in the three neighbouring English counties of Oxfordshire, Warwickshire and Gloucestershire. Since one of the above variations is only one letter different from ROWSON, and since they sound practically identical, I wonder whether anyone has traced their roots back before 1600 and can overlap with the same geographical area. If so I look forward to hearing from you. | ||||

From: | Julie Tandy (nee Rowson) | |||||||||||||||||||
Hello, have just found this website and was very interested in the theory of where the Rowson name originates from, especially the 'red sand' theory. My parents John and Angela Rowson (originally from Warrington,Cheshire) lived in Norway in the late 1980's and my Father was told by a Norwegian work colleague that the name was probably of Viking origin. I am afraid I cannot verify this in any form of written evidence as unfortunately my Father died in 1988, so you might well only consider this as hearsay, but I do think it is more than likely to be correct assumption of the origin of the name. | ||||||||||||||||||||

Hello! What a great site! Just stumbled upon it! I believe my Rowson ancestors were based around Lincs. I'm from Cambridgeshire originally and didn't come accross many Rowson's, however the name seems to be a bit more common where i am now - Nottingham. On the Viking origination theme, i don't know if this helps but i have Dupuytren Contracture, (bent little fingers), this is a genetic abnomaly that came from the Vikings.

Hi interested to find out whether I may have any cousins/ family out there. My name is Chritopher Rowson and my father's family originate from St Helens. He was apparently one of 13 children. Thats about all I know, other than a vague memory of visiting my grand parents in Friar Street,St Helens when I was about 5/6 years old (back in the 1960s). Some of my relations live in Vancover and other parts of North America. Would be great to find out more - can anyone help ? | ||||

Hi. I'm descended from the Rowsons/Rawsons of Wistow, Yorkshire. Anyone else got ancestors from this line? They appear to have been in Wistow since at least the 17thC, where Thomas Rawson was the vicar around the 1650s. My ancestor is Sarah Rowson, who married William Thompson in Wistow in 1714. I'd love to hear from other Yorkshire Rowsons. You can find the Wistow Rowsons on Genes Reunited. Cheers, Penny | ||||||||||||||||||||

Hi to all Rowsons, I currently reside in Perth, Western Australia with my brother Steve Rowson and my 81 yr old mother Kathleen Rowson. We all migrated to Australia in the late 1988. We were origionally from Billinge near Wigan in Lancashire. I have done some previous research that shows strong family connections in the Midlands, but with origins in church records dating back to York in the late 13th century. Would love to correspond with other family members who may have further information. | ||||||||||||||||||||

Dear Rowsons I live in the UK - my family came from Lincolnshire, but I am now in London. I will be pleased to communicate with other Rowsons on family history etc if they wish to do so, but my main reason for making contact now is to say that I have recently set up a website: richardrowson.org This website is to do with my work - I have published a book on professional ethics called Working Ethics - and the website is a forum where people can discuss the ideas in the book. I hope this will not cause confusion with the website: richardrowson.co.uk. I tried to find alternative addresses, but unfortunately "working ethics" and other appropriate domain names have already been used. As my book is not poised to become an airport best seller, I'm sure not many people will in fact be confused, but I thought it polite - and friendly - to let you know about it, and also to tell you what another Rowson is up to. Best wishes to whoever reads this. Richard | ||||

From: | Don Rowson | |||
I was looking through this site - very good it is too - and noticed that in 2001 you had a letter from a Michael Rowson. Mike and I are cousins and the first and last time we saw each other was back in 1969. He was a young fella and I was 20. We found each other awhile back through Genes- connected and have collaborated along with several other people, some who don't even have Rowson roots, to finding more positive connections to our ancestors, not tenuous ones. We eventually discovered that our ggg grandparents were John and Elizabeth not Edmund and Annis as had been handed down through the family. Suppose that was a bit of a shock for the aunts and uncles! I don't know because I don't live over there and haven't had any reaction back from them! Through approaching a person from the result of "Googling" Rowson I have found an adopted cousin and he has been able to confirm for me info about another branch of the family. We have found out a lot by joining the rootsweb.com genealogy lists. Google (or whatever) roots- web and follow it through. 'Subscribe' to a list, watch the letters of other listers and don't be afraid to ask quest- ions, it's the way to learn. Get into the archives of the lists - you don't have to be a member of a list to do so - and you may find someone who is looking for the same family or is connected in some way. Go for it and enjoy. Mind you it is addictive. If anyone wants to contact me please do. Mike and my family were originally from around the Shrews- bury, Shropshire area and then moved north to Manchester. Most of them are still around the Yorkshire, Cheshire and Manchester areas. All the best, Don in New Zealand | ||||

I have found out the origin of the name Rowson - We also have a coat of arms. Castle with 4 towers on black and blue. Raven with a ring - aparently means defense and prophesy. Aparently the name dervies from the 'Son of' eg Son of Rauf, The English surname Rowson is of Patroniymic origin, being the first name of the father, Rowson means Son of Ralph or Rauf. Records date back to the 14 century - I have a family tree completed up to the 16 century - Earl of Shrewsbury was a 'Rowson' A lot of my family are 'Orlando' Rowson or Landie. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
