New Family Page: JOHN FOWLER (1812-1900)

Please post comments and queries about the JOHN FOWLER FAMILY here.

My great great grandfather, John Fowler, was born at Old Malton, Yorkshire, not Goosehill near Wakefield where Samuel Fowler was born.

At the indicated 1862, is Margaret Charlotte Corrigal Scollie (b.1850-d.1936) who married twice to Samuel Fowler in 1862 and again in 1872
and they had her first child in 1873, a son Alfred Herbert Fowler (b.1873-d.1948) my paternal grandfather.

The names related to my contemporary selective bloodline of the above John Fowler is deeply entrenched with many, many more and other surnames of both males and females, with these few significant others; namely, those of: Jenkins Daniel, of Glamorganshire, Wales; Robert Goodwin, of Yoxford, Suffolk; Jacob Corrigal, of Orkney, Scotland; Robert Scollie, of Orkney, Scot. (not "Scully"), and of course this John Fowler of Malton, Yorkshire; That unique "fowler" identity is found in Psalm 91,v3 as a "...beware of the snare of the fowler", but in some recognised languages, it is "Vogler" (Ger.); "Auceps" (Lat.) et cetera. Unfortunately, my great great "Yorkshire" John Fowler's own father has not yet been identified in the United Kingdom, or in Southern Ireland, although that lost brother, uncle, father or bachelor, may be the recognised British soldier from Ireland now buried in Kent, England, and named John Edmund Fowler, V.C., who died in 1926. Moreover, at least one known soldier of the above John (1812-1900) Fowler is his son named Samuel Fowler a serving "pioneer" Canadian bemedaled "warrior" whose own son, Alfred Herbert, a South Africa (Boer war), and a WW1 "warrior"; a grandson James Herbert, a WW11 "warrior"; a great grandson Donald Maxwell, also a WW11 surviving "warrior" too! All having been indigenous war-blooded veterans of the Canadian Armed Forces. Three of whom as "Fowlers "are identified as Canadian "Metis" war-veterans.
