Marriage at St Giles Parish Church Oxford by licence
9 Aug 1829
George Augustus Rowell otp to Maria Barrett of Wuthum? Berks
Witnesses Joseph Barrett, Elizabeth Howell, J.C.

Christening at St Giles15 Sept 1843
George Joseph Rowell s/o George Augustus (Paper Hanger) & Maria Alfred St WH2

There was also a christening for a Rowell child in 1830, it's listed on the disc for St Giles but there is a gap when the church was closed for repairs and they were being done at other churches in the parish, unfortunately have had no luck finding that one but would assume that it's for Elizabeth

I have not managed to find father and/or son in 1841, so marriage certificate would help for more information.

I am seeking information on the family of Philip George Rowell, a watchmaker in Brighton, Sussex, born in 1826 and married to Harriet Smith. I cannot find any names of his parents. I have traced much of the family (including children and grandchildren to my father's generation) through census records etc but cannot get earlier than his birth.
