Forest Roots by David Perry - Cowmeadow family (General)
Whilst sorting out books and papers, I came across the above which I was sent years ago.
It is of no use to me and I do not want to give to charity or throw out.
Perhaps someone in the Cowmeadow family would like it. Will send no charge.

Hello,
I would be very pleased to give this a home. My great-great-grandmother was a Cowmeadow, and I have done quite a lot of research into the Cowmeadow family. Please let me know if it is still available, and if so then I will ask Admin how we can contact each other privately to arrange.
Tina.

I am also interested in this family. I am related by way of Elizabeth Cowmeadow (1813 - 1856), daughter of Thomas Cowmeadow (and a long line of blacksmiths) and Sarah Birt. If you have any insights into the family in general as a result of reading the book, it would be great if you could share them here.

Is there a connection between the family and Cowmeadow Farm, at English Bicknor?

From recollection I think that David Perry did mention this in his book, but he had not found any records to indicate what, if anything, the connection might be.

Hi Lucy,
Unfortunately I was not lucky enough to get the book - I presume that lamplighter10 was contacted by someone else before me. However, I have ordered it through my local library in the past. I think that they obtained it from the British Library.
I have done quite a lot of research into my branch of the Cowmeadow family, and have a tree on Ancestry. I would be happy to give you access to it if you would like to email me privately. However, your Elizabeth Cowmeadow (1813-1856) and Thomas Cowmeadow do not feature in it, and so I think that you must be descended from a different branch of the family.
Tina.

Thanks for that. I will message separately but just responding here in case anyone else wants to join this conversation. There do seem to be quite a lot of Cowmeadows, some of them very interesting so it would be good to see a "Grand" tree one day.

Hi Lucy,
I do not know if you have tried to message me privately yet, but I just wanted to let you know that if you have, I have not received it.

Hi Tina
I have sent another message but if these messages arrive "direct" then it may be caught up in your junk mail filter
But to move things along, the line I have traced is:
Elizabeth Cowmeadow, b 1813, Newent, daughter of
Thomas Cowmeadow, b 1774, Newent, Blacksmith, son of
William Cowmeadow, b 1740, Newent, Blacksmith, son of
William Cowmeadow, b 1714, Aston Ingham, son of
William Cowmeadow, b 1682, Newent, son of
John Cowmeadow, b 1661, Newent, son of
Edward Cowmeadow
(the last couple were identified as a result of another post on this forum - I don't know how to link it but it is called "Cowmeadow Family of Newent", by anthonyworgan and you've probably seen it)
cheers
Lucy

Hi Lucy,
I have checked my Junk folder, but there is nothing in it.
My line is as follows:
Elizabeth Cowmeadow b 1841 Drybrook, daughter of
James Cowmeadow b 1814 Drybrook blacksmith and steam boiler maker, son of
James Cowmeadow b 1788 Ruardean blacksmith and steam boiler maker, son of
William Cowmeadow b 1755 Ruardean blacksmith, son of
William Cowmeadow b 1735 Ruardean, son of
William Cowmeadow
I would have thought that it is not unlikely that there is a relationship between the two families, but that it is so far back that we are never going to find it!
Best wishes,
Tina.

Interestingly I have a 1st cousin 3 times removed (through a 3rd great-grandfather on my father's side), Annie James, who married a Seefried Cowmeadow in 1931.

Seefreid was the great-nephew of my great-great-grandmother, Elizabeth Cowmeadow. He was the grandson of her brother, James, who married Leah Bower.
