The following are old words

I have been in contact in the last couple of years 2007 to 2008 with Gowards in Emley, and I really plan to go there and meet them this year 2009

……..old words………

It’s a bit sad that there is nothing I can report about UK Gowards. Two tiny things:

 

The Church of St Peter & St Paul Wisbech has apparently a couple of  Goward connections:

 

The West Window.says  To the glory of God this window is given in memory of a beloved father, by his only daughter WILHEMINA NICHOLLS GOWARD 1918”

 

The Pulpit, which is apparently in green/pink/white marble, says . “To the glory of God and in memory of JOHN GOWARD and NANCY his wife this pulpit was erected Ad 1904”

 

The Index of Market Harborough’s Worl War 1 servicemen seems to shows that Goward E.E. died 23/3/17 in Egypt

 

I bought a book called “the world book of gowards” for I thonk $20  about 10 years ago. It listed Gowards in telephone directories as follows:
