	EDIT - apparently following wrong family Ancestry did its usual stupid trick in 1841 of separating all the family members out of their household, but it looked like this, in Braunton, Barnstaple, Devon, if this is the family John Rowe abt 1806 Devon, England - farmer Jane Rowe abt 1811 Devon, England John Rowe abt 1832 Devon, England Sarah Rowe abt 1834 Devon, England Mary Rowe abt 1836 Devon, England Rebecca Rowe abt 1838 Devon, England William Rowe abt 1840 Devon, England There were no more children in the household in 1851. (This is a question meant for the Find Ancestors rather than the General (non-genealogy) Chat board.)

	His Father's name should be on the marriage certificate - are you prepared to buy it?
