Thank you once again for your invaluable information. I imagine that the reason that Samuel Watson Cowling did not appear in the 1911 census is that he was away at sea. He was a Chief Engineer. I would like to know more about his connection with Ernest Shackleton, the famous explorer and how his ship brought the body back.

There is a possibility that the Felix Wherly that SilverVixen found may be Silvester (your great Grandfathers) brother as they are both Watch, Clock and Jewellery makers and both from Germany, another avenue to investigate.
The information I found is available on Ancestry and the BMD is available through freebmd.org.uk this site is free to search, there is also some available on familysearch.org
it may be helpful to post some of the information that I have given once you have verified the family connections through the Birth Deaths & Marriage certificates.
Thank you so much. I will try to verify. I appreciate your help. I wish I had more time. I am learning Mandarin Chinese which takes a lot of time.
Trying to access message from edmondsallan but proving difficult. Still would like information on grandfather, Samuel Watson Cowling and his connection with the retrieval of Ernest Shackleton's body and the S.S Glenmorvan.
Help! Where is message from edmondsallan sent to me today, June 24th. Can't get it.
If edmondsallen has sent you a private message go to YOUR home page; it is up in the top left hand corner between your username and log out.
Not sure if this helps, but IRO your islington/hackney connection: there was a Samuel Cowling who was a shoe maker in Hackney - he is buried in St John Hackney churchyard probably 1830-1850.
Wow!! That is amazing as there appears to be a connection between the Cowling's, my mother's side of the family and the Philp side, my father"s jside as I was told that my grandfather, George Philp, was born in Islington and died in Hackney. Therefore the Philp family appear top have some connection to the Cowling's. Intriguing!
