Researching the Clow/Clowe family of Ferryland.
Anyone out there have information regarding Marmaduke Clow, son of Henry G. Clow. Henry was magistrate at Ferryland in the 1800s. I am trying to link Henry G. with James and Henry James Clow of Ferryland. Henry G. arrived in Ferryland from Harbor Grace. I have all the info found at the Government house Archives and at Grand Banks Genealogical site.Hoping someone has extra information.
Thank you.Geraldine
There is a headstone at Princeton, Bonavista Bay for a child named Henrietta Selina Clow PRINCE who was born in 1884 and died in 1890.
I reckon that she was named after Henrietta Adelaide PRINCE (nee CLOW) who died in 1887 at age 23. Gert Crosbie’s newspaper collection notes that this Henrietta was the eldest daughter of Marmaduke W. CLOW.
As an aside, would you happen to know anything about Philip Job CLOW? His daughter Mary Ann married in 1877 (at age 24) to John PIKE. The marriage record says that Mary Ann was born at Bonavista, but I have not been able to find anything for her birth or for her parents.

Hi David.
I am sorry i didn’t reply before now.
Thank you so much for the information. I had the data about Henrietta Prince (nee Clow), but Henrietta Selina Clow Prince is new for me. Nice to have that info.I do not have any info about Philip Job Clow. If I may ask, where did you find his name? Was it in the Gert Crosbie newspaper collection? I have not looked at that source although I have seen it referred to in other people’s genealogical comments. I need to search through G.C. collection.
If I come across anything about Philip Clow, I will pass it along to you. Do you have much info about Clow family? I have the basics…what I gathered from usual internet sources . Trying to verify a lot of it.
Cheers.
GeraldineMy source for Philip Job Clow is from the marriage record of his daughter Mary Ann on 27 April 1877 at Fort William, written in the marriage records from the Congregational Church in St John’s. She married John Pike (age 25, bachelor, Seaman, born at New Hr to parents Geo & Hanna). Mary Ann was described as being age 24, spinster, born at Bonavesta to parents Philip Job & Ann. The witnesses were William Pike, Matilda Good, and Nora Pike.

Thank you for the information.
I am sorry that it took me such a long time to reply. I don’t always check back here and I didn’t subscribe to RSS feed.
I had the info about Mary Ann’s marriage but it came from Newfoundland Grand Banks genealogy and no parent’s names were given…at least I can’t remember seeing that info. I still haven’t s viewed the original record.Hope you are having a great summer.
Cheers.
Geraldine
