In reply to Anonymous. Blimey, I was living in Stowmarket just down the road from you. As far as I am aware there aren't any relatives living in Halstead but I can't be 100% certain of that.

Yes. I was born in Sudbury but we are in Bildeston now. do you know if there are any relatives of mums still in Halstead? So sad that Lillian lost both parents.

In reply to Mark Allan Victor Sutcliffe. Ok cool. She was born Jessie Rebecca Rowland and would be my 1st cousin 2x removed. Rebecca died in West Ham 1919 so that fits with the Spanish flu pandemic, her husband Ernest died also in West Ham 1915 so that seems a bit early for the pandemic. I moved to Sussex from Suffolk about 4 years ago, are you still up there?

In reply to sunwharf. Hi There, Yes that's right. I have recently gleaned a bit more info from the 1921 census. This shows my grandmother Lilian Carter living in London with her grandmother Rebecca Rowland. I believe tragically her parents were both victims of the Spanish flu.

In reply to Christina N Jackson. Christina, if you could supply the dates and locations of your known Rowland ancestors, then we can help identify the line you belong to.

In reply to Christina N Jackson. I'm sorry Christina but I don't know, it's possible I suppose. I don't recognise the name Epiruim at all, was he born in the UK?

In reply to Anonymous. Ah ok, are you descended from Dorcas Rowland (1726-1840) born in Halstead daughter of Peter Rowland? She married a Samuel Dunt and their children carried on as Dents? I can't place who you are as your name doesn't give much away :-)
