Ann Jane Scown
died q4 1851
Newton Abbot
vol 10
page 10?

I've looked at the image on FreeBMD, which is pretty much indecipherable. Ancestry doesn't seem to have any images for q4 1851 at all. The FreeBMD transcriber suggested 106, but there is only a sloping stroke, no round bit at all.

So can anyone with access to a different image help out please?

I have asked on another forum but no response yet.

I thought if you ordered from the GRO you no longer need to quote the volume and page number?

I looked at the FMP image but it was no clearer.

I've looked on FMp UJ and it's no clearer I'm afraid. I've tried comparing it to other numbers on the page but it didn't really help. 106 is about the nearest I think.

Perhaps the local Registry Office it might be able to help.

Thank you very much for looking. It's a really remote twig that I was just tidying up, so I'm unlikely to order the certificate.

Is this Ann Jane Scown born to William Scown and Ann Rowland at Teignmouth, Devonshire by any chance?

Probably! I've traced William all the way from 1851 to his death in 1902. And Ann (surname unknown) from 1851 to her death in 1892. Ann's birthplace is given as Poughill, just outside Bude in Cornwall, but I don't have her maiden name or the marriage.

And from the censuses I have 8 children: William (1834), Henry (1837), Elizabeth (1838), Mary Ann (1843), Ann Jane (1850-1851), John (1851), George (1854-1925), and finally Sarah Ann (1861).

Sarah Ann is the person I'm most interested in. She married William Rutherford in 1878 and I have traced her through to 1911. She's not even in my tree, but she "adopted" my aunt's mother at the age of 12 after all her close relatives had died. I've been checking out all the side-shoots in the hope (unsuccessful so far) of finding out any possible family connections.

Yes, this is a part of my Scown family. I have not traced the children of this line so I have no more information. Ann Rowland was the mother's name but that probably doesn't help you.
Though you have probably traveled this road maybe the census shows a connection between the two families; neighbours perhaps.

Do you have any details of the marriage of William and Ann? How do you know her surname?

William Scown married Ann Rowland but no record found. Presumably before their first child, William, was born in 1834. This part of the family is a bit removed so I haven't done much work on them.

Thanks Ammanda. If you ever pursue this twig, I've got a FTM tree that I can give you as a GEDCOM and/or descendant RTF file.
