Hi Sandy,

I have found out some more information about my Cowell family. Apparantly my Great Grandfathers father, was the son of Annie O'Toole and John Cowell. Annie O'Toole, was the daughter of Lord Kilean, Ireland. John Cowell (My Great, Great Grandfather was Lord Kilean's Estate Man. Annie and John fell in love and left Ireland for the Isle of Man. Then had my Great Grandfather again John Cowell (not sure if there are any brothers or sisters yet) who then Went to India as a young man. On his way back from India he met my Grandmother on his way back to England and then got married in England (Eleanor came from the West Country in England, and I still to confirm birth place), Eleanor's parents were very religous people. John and Eleanor married and had 6 children.....

I will keep you updated but if you know anything about the above? Apparantly my Great Grandfather was the first John Cowell from the Isle of Man........not sure if this is true.

Thanks
Louise
