Biography

Jane was born about 1568. She came over (to Ireland) with the Lord Deputy, the Earl of Sussex and became a settler in Ireland. [1]

Presumably, that would have been Henry Sidney who was the Lord Deputy of Ireland from 1565-1571 and 1575-1578. If Jane accompanied him for his second return, she would only have been about 9 years old.

The child Jane Gowan-1 has been removed. Now we just need to remove the 'brother' Gowan-12. and merge Gowan-104 to the correct link at Gowan-371, being very careful to select the merge for the later profile. It needs to be merged to Gowan-371 NOT Gowan-104.

SIGNIFICANT ERRORS are contained in the auto-generated gedcom uploaded by Lamar Ross in June 2011. It contains false connections to the Gowan family. To add to the confusion when someone merged some of these profiles they were merged by default to the profile that was made first i.e. the wrong one, so please bear this in mind. I am in the process of sorting this out but in the mean time I will add the correct profile numbers and notes to each profile in question.

As you can see here there are two Philips listed as half brothers.They are actually the same person by the way. Of the two Philips, Gowan-104 is more accurate. The other Philip, Gowan-12 will lead you down to the other major error at Gowan-9, where Elizabeth Jane (Cowan) Hall appears as the daughter for John Gowan and Martha Hunter - she is NOT.

To see the correct information please see Allen-36891and Gowan-371. Philip married Rose Dillon see Dillon-3684. Their son Thomas Gowan Gowan-370 married Mary St.Leger-199. Their son Thomas Gowan-103 married Anne Cootes-65. Their son was John Gowan-357 who married Martha Hunter-13597 who were my 6th great grandparents


TGowan-12. and merge Gowan-104 to the correct link at Gowan-371, being very careful to select the merge for the later profile i.e. Gowan-371 NOT Gowan-104.

Allen-167 and Unknown-80950 appear to represent the same person because: Allen is LNAB & "Unknown" current last name is MacGowan
