I am trying to trace Francis Towan, born 1801 Stoke Darmeral, Devonport, England. Childred, Stephen, born 4th Sept 1831, and William, born Abt 1833.
If you have info on any Towans I would be intrested to here from you as I believe we are all related. Regards Linda

I have also come across the Towan family in my research, but they are in the 1700's and 1600's. They were miners and followed the mines for work. My ancestor Loveday Towan was born in North Molton, Devon, England. But I couldn't find anything until I was searching the internet on familysearch.com and came across her family. She was the only one of the children born in Devon that I can see and the rest were born in Redruth, Cornwall, England. They had originated from Redruth and temporaily went for work in North Molton. Cornwall and Devon have a lot of Mining towns. Try searching in both counties. I will send what I have later as I have to take my son to school at the moment. Best wishes Denise

I went to the familysearch.com page and looked up your Francis Towan born in 1801. I found: Francis Towan Chr. 19 Apr 1801 in Stoke Damerel, Devon to Joseph Towan and Mary Batch# C052422 Scource Call# 0916920 which is the Parish register transcripts for the Church of England Parish Church of Stoke Damerel for the years 1595 - 1837. Can order this film from any LDS Church family history library.
The only marriage for Joseph Towan and Mary in Devon was Joseph Towan to Mary Dorrington 9 Jul 1783 Stoke Demerel, Devon Batch# M052422 Scource Call# 0916921 Parish register transcripts for Stoke Demerel. There was no births/chr. for either of Joseph or Mary in Devon. But I found them in Cornwall.Joseph Towan chr. 5 Feb 1750 Redruth, Cornwall, Eng. and Mary Dorrington 29 Dec 1767 Truro, Cornwall, Eng. Truro and Redruth are only 8 miles apart. and Demerel is only about 35-40miles away from Truro. This is a good possiblity. I have ancestors from Plymouth, Devon that followed the mines to Truro and Illogan. I hope that this will help you.
