Re: William Gowler of Somersham
No great help, but their son Thomas seems to have been the landlord of my local pub
I live in Somersham, a couple of hundred yards from where they lived.
Have you visited the church in Somersham? You often find graves beside an older generation. In this part of the Fens, you quite often find several generations.
