The 1901 census for Robert Cowan at Glenkeen shows he was 87 therefore bn abt 1814 BUT it is really 67...... So Robert Cowan 67 and William Fletcher 89 NOT THE SAME generation and both lived same area, separated by one or two townlands. The 1901 census shows Robert Cowan's wife is only 42 (although she has ballooned to 57 in the 1911 census) This DOES NOT have to be a second marriage for Robert. Or else Robert Cowan got married very very late in life!!! In 1901 he has a one year old at 67. What a guy.
