Hi Maria and List, There are some of us on this list researching English Fowler roots. I am descended from Robert Fowler (c1757 - 1848), probably a farmer, of Cudworth, Somerset, England, and later Abbotsbury, Dorset, England. I would like to hear from any distant Fowler cousin descended from Robert. I would be delighted for any ancestral information above and beyond Robert. Briefly, my Fowler tree is as follows: 1. My ancestors, Robert Fowler of Cricket St. Thomas, Somerset, Englans, and Mary Phelps of Shepton Beauchamp, Somerset, England, were married on April 2nd., 1781 in Cricket St. Thomas, Somerset. They had the following children baptized in Cudworth, Somerset, England: Unice (1782), Robert (1784), Mary (1785) and my ancestor Joseph (1787). 2. Joseph Fowler (1787 - 1855) married Mary Gapper on July 30th., 1816 in Winsham, Somerset, England. They lived in Abbotsbury and Winterborne Whitechurch, both in Dorset, England. Joseph was a farmer. They had the following children: my ancestor Mary Gapper Fowler (1818), Joseph Francis Fowler (c1820), Robert Fowler (1824) and Amelia Honor Gapper Fowler (1829). 3. Mary Gapper Fowler (1818 - 1865) married Joel Roper on April 21st., 1840 in Winterborne Whitechurch, Dorset, England. Joel was a yeoman farmer. They lived in Mappercombe, Milton Abbas and Winterborne Clenston, all of them in Dorset, England. They had the following children: Mary Fowler Roper (1841), John Roper (1842), Joseph Fowler Roper (1844), William Robert Roper (1846) and William Norris Roper (1849). I am descended from Joseph Fowler Roper (1844 - 1906) of Dorset and Wiltshire in England. I suspect a Fowler connection with Thorncombe for my ancestral family, but cannot prove it yet. Happy searching! Best wishes.
