Okay there is quite a lot of information on the Fowlers of Kings Stanley Gloucestershire. This is the NA link http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/a2a/records.aspx?cat=040-d873&cid=-1#-1 -----Original Message----- From: Patricia Sent: Monday, November 18, 2013 8:19 AM To: Laraine Dillon ; aus-pt-jackson-convicts@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [PJ] researcher Before trying for a professional researcher you should go through the archives of the Rootsweb lists for the various places you can prove your ancestor lived. There are lists for the Bristol area and there is sure to be a Fowler one name society. You may have to try not only Rootsweb but also Yahoo, Facebook and anywhere else you can think of that may have a genealogy list. Members of genealogy lists are usually very helpful and can direct you to where the information you need is located, or if you are lucky one of the members will find it for you and pass it on, or perhaps a family member belongs to the list and will share research with you provided you also share. There is a lot of information online that was not available a year ago. However, you do have a lot of clues to enable to you find the information you seek without hiring a professional researcher Why don't you contact the Goulburn Library in NSW about his time as a reporter for the newspaper? The Goulburn Family History Society and the Library have a comprehensive Index to items listed in the local newspapers. It is many years since I contacted the GFHS, snail mail, and they are now probably online, they provided me with a lot of information, for a very small outlay, on my ancestors in the area. There are a lot of descendants with the Parnell surname in the Sydney area, some in my family line. No trace of a Mary Parnell marrying a Fowler unfortunately. Good luck. Patricia Hello and thank you to everyone who has replied to my email re an investigative researcher. I am open to all suggestions. Here is my problem Daniel Fowler on the Isabella 4 1832.... I have all the information on his trial and crime we know he worked for Garling the artist as a boatman, in Sydney, we know he married Bridget Welsh in Sydney they were married at St Mary’s by banns. One of the Children of the union was George Fowler born 1846. He was my Great Grandfather,the family story went that George was a Dean of a University but fell on hard time due to the evil brew. George became a journalist and wrote for papers like the Goulburn times. At one stage he turns up in Cooktown as the editor of a paper and it appear he co wrote the Emu and Kangaroo almost an anthem. George stated on his marriage cert that his mother was Mary Parnell, this is incorrect, but the Parnell's were connected in the Welsh line It could be that they educated George who was obviously better educated than the average man of the times. I wish to know more about the early years of George Fowler before he married Esther Wood . Then there is Daniel his father I have paid three researchers to find out who Daniels Fowlers parents were as he was well educated and came from Bristol but at the time of his arrest he claimed to live in Staffordshire no place can we find the name of his parents. I would like some one to trace this family backwards from N.S.W some one who can really sink their teeth into it please.
