Good Morning Cowan researchers, I don't post often so I thought I would just to keep me up-to-date on the board. I'm looking for Edward Cowan (no middle name), my gr Grandfather. The following is what I do know. Edward was born in 1836 in Blyth, Ontario, Canada. There seems to be two Blythes in Ontario. Blyth, Morris Township in Huron county and Blythe Township in Nipissing District. I don't know which is one he was born in. The next event I know of is he married Mary Emily Hemstreet on December 30, 1877 in Freeborn, Freeborn County, MN. That puts Edward at 41 when he married Mary Emily. Mary Emily was just 16 years old. I know that Edward and Mary had their first child, Bert Edward in Austin MN on January 24, 1880. Their second child Lovella Cowan came on November 10, 1883. I dont know where she was born. The assumption is Austin however there is a three year difference so they could have moved on to Watertown SD by then. Albert Angus Gus was next on April 1, 1885. He was born in Watertown, Codington County, SD. The next three children were all born in Watertown. Grace on April 10, 1887, Charlie in 1889 and Carrie Ethel on June 28, 1891. Effie was born on February 28, 1894 in Stanley, Manitoba. Norman Lester (my grandfather) followed on October 17, 1896. This means Edward and Mary must have moved from Watertown, South Dakota to Stanley Manitoba sometime between 1891 and 1894. Charlie died sometime in 1900 in Miami, Thornhill, MB, Canada. I dont have a place of birth for Lillian but she was born on February 14, 1899 and Annabelle was born in December 21, 1900 in Morden, Manitoba where she grew up and attended schools. Mary died on Jan 24, 1907. She was buried in Waterville, LeSeur County, Minnesota but there is no obituary. She might of died in Morden Manitoba Canada? The next event I have is his death on April 8, 1921 in Hannah, Cavalier County, ND. Where was Edward between 1836 and 1877? Most importantly, what were his parents names? After two years I haven't been able to answer these questions so I'm open to any suggestions!
