Cowdrey roots
Heck
I have come to a standstill on this family, the furthest i can go back is John Henry Cowdrey born 1882 in Highworth Wiltshire,served in the military , married Eva Lillian Rudman Dec 25 1905 and i have all the family from there on.
But unable to trace back his parents,grandparents etc from Wiltshire.

Heck on 2013-01-13 21:01:39Hi,
Thank you so much for that, I've had it stuck in my brain about Highworth, but looking at a map Wroughton and Highworth are all in a close proximity around Swindon, another person was kind enough to contact me about Francis but i took it as his sister !! not the father and whats more he named his own son John Francis it should have clicked but didn't,this has filled a big gap for me thanks.
Cheers
