GOWING, Alice

ALICE M. GOWING
Aged 2 yrs 10 mo.
taken Oct 7th, 1887

UPDATE - Alice Mary Gowing has been claimed by a relative and is going home!  No location stamp, but the name is unusual enough, we should be able to find her.

Census records find her in New Hampshire.

1900 New Hampshire, Cheshire County, Dublin,
GOWING, Fred C., head, Oct 1855, 44, born in New Hampshire, of NH parents, farmer
GOWING, Jennie N., wife, Sept 1855, 44, born in New Hampshire of NH parents
GOWING, Alice Mary, daughter, Nov 1885, 14, born in NH
GOWING, Henry Newton, son, Oct 1886, 13, born in NH
GOWING, Albert C., son, June 1888, 11, born in NH
(living next door, or in the same household, are Charles W. GOWING (age 80) and wife Julia Foster GOWING (74); presumably the parents of Fred GOWING.)

1920 New Hampshire, Cheshire Co., Dublin
GOWING, Fred C., head, 54, born in New Hampshire, of NH parents, farmer, fruit & hen business
GOWING, Jennie N., wife, 54, born in New Hampshire of NH parents
GOWING, Alice M., daughter, 25, born in NH, no occupation
(living next door, or in the same household, are brother Henry and his wife Belle F.)

1930 California, Los Angeles Co., Glendale, 350 W. Ivy
ADAMS, Elenora M., 74 widow, born in NH, no occupation, owns the house
TRAMEL, Ethel J., 45, single, born in NH, nurse at hospital, renting
GOWING, Alice M., 35, single, born in NH, no occupation, renting

1940 New Hampshire, Cheshire Co., Dublin
GOWING, Jennie N., head., 84 widow, no occupation
GOWING, Alice M., daughter, 55 single, no occupation

I find no mention of her, or her parents, at the FindaGrave.com website. But her brother Henry and his wife Belle are listed there. They are buried at the Dublin Town Cemetery. It is possible that the other family members are also, but just not included at the moment, at the website.

It would appear that Alice never married or had children. At the age of 55 she was still listed as single on the census and still using her maiden name.

  1. I have a journal for Alice M Gowing dated 1897 I would like a member from her family to have.

  2. I will try to contact the person I sent the photo to. Perhaps they would also like the journal.
