John Fowler, the father of Elizabeth Whittingham Fowler, was a shoemaker on High Street in Malmesbury, Wiltshire County, England. The 1851 Census for England lists thirty-seven as John's age and Malmesbury as his place of birth. His 1856 death entry (General Register Office certified copy) shows forty-three as his age at death. Therefore, he must have been born about 1813 or 1814. In the informant column of Elizabeth's birth record (General Register Office certified copy), "Jun." is specified after "John Fowler" to designate Elizabeth's father's name. The senior John Fowler appears to have been the High Street grocer who, according to the 1851 Census for England, was named John Fowler and lived close to Elizabeth's father and his family. As I have no birth record for John Jr., I'm unable to prove the relationship. John Jr. married Martha Callaway on January 23, 1834, in Malmesbury. Martha and John had seven children, six sons and one daughter (Elizabeth). John died on March 31, 1856 (General Register Office certified copy), and was buried on April 06, 1856 (Malmesbury Parish record). The seven Fowler children were not baptized until July 20, 1856 (Malmesbury Parish record), several months after John's death. |
