In our family it was Thomas William COWELL b1813 my 2xg grandfather who changed the spelling, though I think the two were interchangeable a lot earlier than that. The family were still farming at Ballacuberagh at least until 1894 though my g grandfather John Thomas b1856 was a builder in Birkenhead by that time.
