janilye on 2011-04-23 15:49:38For William ROWLAND 1806 I have another source which gives his birth as 6 June 1807 at Holborn, London and baptism 5 July 1807.
equinoxer on 2011-04-24 10:37:47great to see you put up the alternative Wm Rowland bap I gave you Janice. Just to clarify ... I have seen the actual bap regr and it doesnt give a birth date only a bap one. Would be interested where you got the birth date from.... Is it a primary source?
thanks...Equinoxer :) and a Happy Easter Sunday to you
LeonieBeaulieu on 2019-08-15 07:38:15Hi, I was wondering if you have a source for the death of William Rowland the elder in 1847? I have a record of another child born to him and Esther Ann in 1849 and I'm trying to work out if it was a different couple with the same names. My record has her christened at the same place as all of William and Esther's children so I think she is their daughter. Can you please tell me why you think William Rowland died in 1847? Thank-you.
janilye on 2019-08-15 09:42:50Actually you are right. I made a mistake here, I just checked my tree. That should read the first quarter of 1850. I have his death on 25 January 1850 at Stepney.
Here is a reference:
England & Wales, Civil Registration Death Index, 1837-1915
1850 Q1-Jan-Feb-March R =
ROWLAND; district, Stepney; Volume 2 Page 356.
There is another William ROWLAND who died the same quarter in Swansea Volume 26 page 424. Also there is a William ROWLANDS died same quarter 1850, at Haverfordwest Volume 26 page 509
Here are the children:
Mary Ann Esther Rowland
1831–1913
Charles William Rowland
1834–1917
William Rowland
1836–1918
Samuel Rowland
1838–1907

J_S_Walker on 2022-05-29 11:50:17Hey everyone.
I'm currently cataloguing the Rowland line on WikiTree as it's free and highly collaborative. I also have DNA tested at Ancestry and have uploaded on Myherritage, LivingDNA, Gedmatch and FTDNA and have quite a few Rowland DNA matches with distant relatives branching from William Rowland and Esther Ann Garrett.
I own the J.S.Walker tree on Ancestry which I've sourced to the best of my ability from myself backwards to our above named ancestors so happy to give anyone information on where I place. I've seen quite a few well sourced trees on Ancestry so wanted to make sure I put in a great deal of effort on my particular line which is:
William Rowland - William Rowland - George Frederick Rowland - George Henry Rowland - Ivan Ernest Rowland - Patrick Walter Cyril Rowland - Patricia Louise Rowland - John S Walker (Myself).
Best of luck in everyone's research endeavours for 2022
