Janet When I started to read your email, I thought great Janet has some news on my Hardy JOWETT. I regret to say that I am unable to help you with the father of your John JOWETT. The only think I know about Hardy JOWETT is according to the 1881 census, he was 9 years of age. The census also lists his parents Joshua and Elizabeth and his siblings. Growing up I remember my grandmother mentioning a relation she had who was a missionary in China. When my father died in 1996 I found among his papers, his parents Harry BENSON and Edith COATES, birth certificates and their marriage certificates There was also a newspaper clipping from the Yorkshire Observer Buget ( the newspaper heading was hard to read) dated 21 November 1936, the article details the death of Hardy JOWETT a Wesleyan Missionary in China and his subsequent burial in Scholemoor Cemetery. Hardy had been a misionary in China for 40 years until his death in July 1936. Hardy was obviously the relation my grandmother used to speak about. The connection between Edith and Hardy I have yet to find. I am thinking that perhaps Hardy's mother Elizabeth was a COATES or a WRIGHT. These names being the surnames of Edith's parents Fred COATES and Jerrisa WRIGHT. On the Free BDM site there is a Joshua JOWETT marriage, in the year I would expect him to marry. There isn't anyone named Elizabeth as a possible spouse, so I will need to go through the GRO indexes. If you have a look at the JOWETT web site, the full article about Hardy is printed. Perhaps some one on that site may be able to help you find John's parents.
