Here is an article from TROVE on the death of Henry, 11.5.1881 Sydney Herald:-

"Mr. Henry Cowie, manager of the Commercial Marine Insurance Company, was seized with an apoplectic fit at the directors' meeting to-day, and died shortly afterwards".

also ...............Henry's wife Ruth died 1882 in Crakehill, Yorkshire UK - also on TROVE.

Hello Sashar,

Thank you very much.

I'll get the articles from TROVE.

This is where I got the details of the other two children:

Biographical Index of South Australians 1836-1885
COWIE Henry
d: 10.5.1881 Semaphore SA
arr: 1853 GOMELZA
0cc: Insurance Company Director
res: Norwood, Semaphore ccl: Cong
m: unknown
ch: Harriett Ellen BRUCE (1841-1891), Maria Groom ANTHONY (1843-1865),
Henry Hutchinson (1847-1897), Annie Eliz (1849-1891), Alfred Wm (1856-), Ruth Marion (1859-)

The family arrived in 1853. Perhaps not born in SA then.

Regards,

Dave

If you google Ruth KERR nee COWIE there is an Ancestry tree with a photo of Ruth and Andrew. Also says Andrew died 1930 and Ruth 1929 but can't find that in Sth Aust.
