As with the main records page every attempt is made to update it on a regular basis. If you find your

family moved from Norfolk to Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire in the 1880s and started using the
Rowden spelling from the early 1900s. It is not clear how many of the family are now Rowden
or retain the original spelling Rawden. |

John Roden was born in Ledbury, Herefordshire as, it seems, were his ancestors.
His son William was registered with a Roaden surname at birth, Rouden in a census and then Rowden when he
married. Rowden seems to have been used by the family since then. |

This family adopted the Rowden surname after forming it from a variant spelling of a middle name, Rourden.
Gerard Walter Courtenay Rowden was born Wilfrid Walter Wallace Wotton in 1880. He was also know as Wilfrid Rourden Leigh and
even Walter Courtenay Rowden but seems to have used the Rowden surname consistently after his second marriage in 1922. |
