Sybil Frances Cowley

From notes by Peter Cowley, grandson of Sybil Bagshawe, via TalkingScot.com

Greetings Raymond,

My name is Peter Cowley of Vancouver Canada. Robert Crawfurd (1) of Newfield (died 1843, wife Frances O'Brien) was one of my great-great-great grandfathers. His son Robert (2), my great, great grandfather I know very little about other than that he had two sons, Galfridus and Robert (3), and one daughter Frances, my great-grandmother. Her husband was Edward Charles Bentinck Bagshawe (whose mother Emma Hoare was Frances O'Brien's great niece). The Bagshawe's came to Canada in the late 1890's with Robert (2)'s sister Frances (two of whose watercolours of English countryside landscapes I have in my home), settling in Victoria, British Columbia. The Bagshawes had eleven children including the oldest daughter, my beloved grandmother, Sybil Frances Bagshawe.
