Biography

Thomas Leon Owens was born in County Wexford, Ireland. In 1843 he went to India with the 28th Regiment of Foot.[1]

He married Anna Edwards in 1849; the two surnames were later merged to form “Leonowens.” After their marriage, the couple spent several years in Australia. While living in Malaysia in 1859, Thomas, who had been managing a hotel, suffered a stroke and died.[2]
