Hi Dave
N.S.W.Assisted Immigrant Passenger Lists
Thomas Stowe abt 1834 8 Jun 1877 St Lawrence Melksham, Witts
Emma Stowe abt 1840 8 Jun 1877 St Lawrence Lacetor, Suffolk
Alfred A Stowe abt 1864 8 Jun 1877 St Lawrence Tiberton, Suffolk
Annie E Stowe abt 1865 8 Jun 1877 St Lawrence Lacetor, Suffolk
Francis Stowe abt 1867 8 Jun 1877 St Lawrence Lacetor, Suffolk
Emma Stowe abt 1869 8 Jun 1877 St Lawrence Lacetor, Suffolk
Priscilla Stowe abt 1871 8 Jun 1877 St Lawrence Lacetor, Suffolk
George Thom Stowe abt 1873 8 Jun 1877 St Lawrence Lacetor, Suffolk
1884-1894 N.S.W Sands Directory
STOWE Thomas, millwright, 42 Phillip st., Balmain
Cyclopedia of New South Wales
A prominent Architect and Consulting
Engineer in the metropolis
of New South Wales, and well
known in the various centres of the
colony, is MR. FRANCIS ERNEST
STOWE, son of the late Thomas
Stowe, millwright and engineer, of
London. Born on March 17th,
1867, educated, first, in the '' little
village,'' and latterly in this colony
young Stowe went through a severe
course of practical training, embracing
engineering, building construction,
and office work, for a
period of twelve years before he
initiated the practice of his profession
amidst the historic scenes of
Parramatta in the year 1891. Since
that time his professional career can
be tersely described as one of substantial
and speedy progress. The
value of the ancient borough as a
commercial centre to the up-to-date
' professional man is in inverse ratio
to the interest it attracts on sentimental
grounds ; and it was not
long before Mr. Stowe recognised
the necessity of putting in his pegs
in a more lucrative field, where his
skill would receive wider recognition.
Accordingly, when the suited moment
arrived he came to Sydney,
where he soon gathered around him
in King Street, a sound connection.
For the past sixteen years he has
instructed classes on engineering at
the Sydney Technical College ; and,
latterly, the architectural department
of this important and beneficial
institution has been under his
control. He is the present principal
of the Sydney Marine Engineers'
College, from which, under his
tuition, since 1902 candidates to
the number of 128 have been successful
in obtaining Board of Trade
certificates; and the 'l counterbalance
scheme," adopted by the
Government and used at Darling
Street, Balmain, affords a good
instance of his inventive genius.
In January, 1894, Mr. Stowe was
married to Miss Margaret I/yon.
Outside his profession, he devotes
himself mainly to military matters,
holding a commission as lieutenant
in the Parramatta squadron of the
New South Wales Lancers. Rising
at the outset from the ranks to an
officer in the lancer cadets, he was
eventually promoted so a second
lieutenantship in his present corps
and then to the rank of first lieutenant.

Hello crankypants,
Thank you very much. I didn't think you would find much on Thomas.
That shipping record is way off. Emma was born in Leiston, Suffolk, George Thomas in Kensington, Middlesex, and most of the children including Francis Ernest in Ireland: b. 17 Mar 1867 , Sligo, Ireland Vol. 7 p. 381.
For the last three years I thought George Thomas was the youngest. :2fun: Until last week when I found three more born after the family arrived in NSW.
Regards,
Dave

Hello crankypants,
Sorry about that. Francis died in 1936 and spouse Margaret in 1937. redf)
The Sydney Morning Herald - Saturday 10 April 1937
DEATHS
STOWE-April 9, 1937 at her residence 49 Rosebery street Mosman, Margaret relict of the late Francis Ernest Stowe, beloved mother of Winnie, Bessie and Nestor (Mrs Gribbell), aged 75 years.
I can understand the use of 'Nestor' as her given names are Frances Ernestine. I think they wanted a son after two daughters. :2fun:
Please see what you can find after 1936. Thanks.

Dave

I looked everywhere for Francis in 1903 e/r and gave up. Found him in Parramatta (the only place I didn't look) through wife Margaret from later e/r's. Now where is she. I give up.

Hello crankypants,
Thank you very much. I expected to see Brian Askham in 1943 E/R because his parents married in 1920. Perhaps he is not the eldest and I could be missing some children. His sister Shirley was born in 1928.

Bessie Pearson STOWE b. 1898 Parramatta d. ?
Looks like 1949 & 1954 Dawson in Qld.
Please see what you can find. Thanks.
