Dear listers, I would like to request assistance in finding out more about my Cowey ancestors. Would anyone with access to the parish records for Whickham please do a lookup for me. I am interested particularly in Robert Cowen and his wife Ann Whelton (father believed to be Cuthbart Whelton) They had four children that I know of. Family information as follows. Robert Cowen, born about 1670 in Whickham, died 1715 in Whickham.
