Other Researchers:

Steve Bown is carrying out research  into the Bown families and the village. He is particularly seeking any information on his relative Michael Bown, b circa 1801 died 1876, who married Rebecca Keirle in 1833 (Actually born Rebecca Richards, according to Steve's latest research), and who at one time(c1861) was the landlord of the London Inn in the village. (see Kelly's directory below for 1861)
