Initial information regarding this family was furnished by Diane Stone who is a descendant of Stephen Rowing above.

The marriage between “Arch” and Sarah is highly significant to Rowing family history.

A number of their grandchildren eventually left Norfolk and moved south to Surrey and Kent founding the Rowing families who live there to this day. Most, if not all, of these people are descended from Archibald and Sarah.

Archibald was described as “my nephew” in the will of Ann Maria Rowing just as was Stephen Rowing (1772-1821). This relates the two either as brothers or cousins.

Archibald died in Wendling and was buried there on the 10th. February 1836. .

Youngest child/only daughter Ann Marie married William Took a tailor at Wendling on the 19th May 1839

Witness to wedding ceremony was John Bear. Sarah was to marry John in 1840.

Sarah was entered on the census return of son Daniel in 1851. She died a few weeks later. On the same census John Bear is shown as living alone in Beeston.

The death of John Bear was recorded in Mitford during the 1st quarter of 1857.
