The
Frowen connection occurs with the marriage of Emily
Frowen to the fourth William
Albrow. The section from the ALBROW page with that
information is repeated here to assist the flow. The Frowen branch
leads us to The Forest of Dean and the Welsh Border region.

Emily
E. Frowen:
Birth:
4 Oct 1850 at Ruardean, Gloucestershire
Death:
1930 at 331 Chapter
Rd., Willesden Green.
(This was daughter Alice Maud's home)
From
The Forest of Dean to London.
Question:
So how did Emily end up in London with
her family all back in the Forest of Dean?
Answer: Some
astute detective work by Graham and Janet
has given us the answer. Emily along with
Annie Smith went to London to work in the London home of Willoughby
Davis (a surgeon) I found out that he was a dental surgeon
at St. Giles-in-the-Fields. He was originally from Byford, Herefordshire
which accounts for their paths crossing. The
census of 1871, shows Emily's location
as:Ludlow House (Cardington Street / Whittlebury Street) Somers
Town, St. Pancras, London - In the service of Davis
•
1871
Census
St. John the Baptist, Ruardean. From 1801 to 1861 the
church was under the charge of the Rev. John Horlick. The
Horlick family, notably James and William became famous
for the method of producing dried milk with added malt -

Marriage:
Elizabeth Hunt 9 Oct 1847 at Ross,
Herefordshire
Death:
20 Oct 1906 at Chepstow, Monmouthshire
The
1851 Census finds the Frowens in Ruardean, where our Emily
was born. Christopher
is a shopkeeper.
The 1861 record shows Christopher
as a 'Journeyman Grocer' and Elizabeth
as a 'Dressmaker'. The family were living at 'Rock House'
Wisewood, Tintern Parva, Monmouthshire. Our Emily
was 11 years old. Nice photo of the church - taken by Ben
- here

|
|
The
Welsh Census' of 1881 and 1891 locate them at Chepstow.
Christopher's occupation is 'Brewers Agent'.
By 1901 Elizabeth had died and
Christopher was located at:
Mile
End,West Dean (Coleford), Gloucestershire. |
Historical
perspective:The British Post Office introduced pre-paid postage
on mail with the introduction of the "Penny Black"
stamp. The date was 6th May 1840.
The
Crimean War (1853–1856) was fought between Imperial
Russia on one side and an alliance of France, the United Kingdom,
the Kingdom of Sardinia, and the Ottoman Empire on the other

Church, Berry Hill, dedicated
in 1814

Bachelor
John and widow Ann
were both resident in Newland before their marriage. The
church was dedicated just two years before the wedding.The
1841 census shows the Frowens living at Berry Hill with
Emily and Amos still living with their parents.Our Christopher
was in Cinderford
at the time of the Census which I am working on.
John's occupation was Mason, but by the 1851
Census John has become blind and
his work seems to be a type of sheltered workshop - he is
a 'beehive maker'. The 1861 Census shows them still in Berry
Hill. Emily, shown on the Census may be an erroneous entry.
Investigations have shown no Frowen child of that age.
The grand-daughter is probably Emily James, Given
that John is blind and that he and Ann are in their 60’s,
it is probable that Emily (as the oldest grand-daughter)
is with them in a supportive/caring role. - Graham's note |

Mary Frowen is noted as the mother of
John. The parish record states that our John
is "baseborn''. So Mary
is the one that brings the name, 'Frowen'
into the male side of our tree. Her marriage to Thomas Rhodes
took place after Mary had given birth
to four children, all baseborn, our John being
the eldest.

the village of Awre. Hence: Awre with Blakeney.
AWRE is pronounced 'OAR'
