George Fowler Labourer of Spaldington Yorkshire England

Daughter Ann Fowler spinster age 21 maid servant resident Spaldington married by banns Samuel Notherd (sic) age 22 bachelor man servant of Spaldington son of William Notherd 7th June 1841 at Bubwith church Yorkshire. Leonard Fowler and Thomas Ross were witnesses.

Daughter Jane Fowler Spinster of age resident Kilpin, married after banns, William Nothard of age bachelor husbandman, resident Methan (There is a Methan Hall across the Ouse from Whitgift) son of William Nothard on 5th April 1841 at Howden Parish Church Yorkshire. Both made mark. Leonard and William Fowler were witnesses.

Samuel (age 30) & Ann (age 29) Northard then appear with George Northard aged 8 on the 2nd Sept 1850 census for Leroy Township Lake County Ohio. Samuel is described as a farmer, no relationships are shown but all three show place of birth as England. This puts the birth of George sometime between 3rd Sept 1841 and 2nd Sept 1842 but this does not tie in with the details on his tombstone. This also means that Samuel & Ann travelled to Ohio after 3rd Sept 1841 at the earliest but before 2nd Sept 1850.

A Leonard Fowler (age 27) & a George Nothard (age 30) arrive in the Port of New York aboard ship "St George" on 1st June 1844. I assume that this is the Leonard Fowler mentioned above and that George Nothard is possibly related to Samuel & William. Hopefully the 1841 census of Spaldington may resolve this matter.

Again in the 1850 Ohio census at Colombra?? Hamilton County on 1st August a George Nothard age 35 born England is shown as a farmer with $1600 real estate value. On the adjoining property are Leonard Fowler age 3(2?) farmer $4000 real estate value born England, Eliza Fowler age 22 born Ohio and A. H. Fowler female age 2 born Ohio.
