O. William Couling alias HEWER #1653 born c 1822, Marriage Cert #74 LDS 0856947, occupation keeper, married 21 April 1851, in Kempsford Cert # 74 LDS Film 0856947, Rachel Wynter Stratford #5208, born c1832. The certificate is hard to read but it shows William HEWER [possibly Kewer] alias Couling - father William Couling - Kevin Dowd thinks he is son of Asenath Hewer born before her mariage to Thomas William - this would support the alias as 'Hewer' not Kewer nor Kews - my best reading is that the name is intended to be 'Hewer' on the cert of Marriage. That ties in nicely but needs support [best would be baptism] - CHECK 'HEWER' baptisms 1820 -21 -22 Rachel: 1851 census shows a Rachel age 18 resident in John Little's home - no other name is given so she is represented as being his daughter. Also shows, as 'lodger' William Couling age 29 [thus b 1822 - fits as Asenath's son] Also starting in 1861 we find John Little age 9 as 'brother' and in 1871 as 'grandson' John Little [Cowling] This leads to conclusion that he is 'son' of William Couling and that 'Rachel' son born 2 mos. prior to their marriage. BUT where do 'Wynter'and/or Stratford? names come frrom on CERT??
