- Notes: William Chown, second son of Bathsheba and John, moved to Wales in 1850. As
a stonemason, William joined a large band of artisans from the West of England
engaged in the development of Cardiff as a seaport and the building of the
dockyards. He went back to Exminster in 1852 to marry Sally Underhill and
returned to Cardiff where their five boys and three girls were born.
The eldest son Walter born 1855 and his wife Susan had three children and
following the early death of Walter's sister Laura, he raised her three children as
well. Walter was also a stonemason and there were several other Chowns listed
under the same trade. Walter's eldest child Laura born 1892 and named for her
aunt, married Thomas Daniel HILL.
William Chown 1826 married Sally UNDERHILL in 1852 and this branch moved
to Cardiff in Wales. From 1871 to 1890 they lived at 4 Elm Street, Routh where
William was a grocer.
