I have recently been contacted by a fh researcher who has one Keble Fowler b 1751 in his family tree. His father was John Fowler 1719 - 1790 a corn merchant and maltster of Ipswich and St Swithuns(London). Previously I had known the Keble Fowlers only as one of the Thanet Fowler lines (probably my own, still work in progress). Back in 2004-2006 I had email exchanges with listers/Fowler researchers Amanda Bartley and Sally Hammond about the origins of the line which seems to predate the Fowler/Kibbald marriage in ?Emptage , also in 1751. While the Ipswich reference could be coincidence it seems unlikely to me, such is the rarity of Keble as a forename or middle name.. I do realise that Thanet was well connected to both places by sea and road. Can anyone suggest a more tangible link between Thanet and Ipswich or St Swithiuns? many thanks Dick Fowler KFHS 9342,DFHS 13423
