Looking through my father's papers recently, I came across a letter written to him in 1988. The sender was a John A Stowell, living at that time near Canterbury.

He stated that he had traced his own ancestry back, through the Isle of Man, to 1510.

He was looking to my father for information about other branches of the Stowell family.

I'l be happy to send you the contents of that letter, if you feel that it might be of any use to you in your search.

Regards,

Nicola Stowell
