Mary
Rolfe Christening: 12 FEB 1758 Cheriton, Kent
Father: Richard Rolfe Mother: Elizabeth
- would have been 30 when she married Thomas Gower in 1788, and born
a little distance away from Denton where her son was born in 1790 - but
if our dates are correct then Thomas was 52 when he re-married and they
only had one child that we know of. There is no available record of a
Mary Rolfe marrying in or near Cheriton within the appropriate timescale
for this one, and no relevant death record. She could have been a servant
with a family that moved north.

If Edward Gower's mother grew up in Newington (she was 4 when her last known sibling was born there), then it could expain why Edward moved to that area from his birthplace in Denton. His first child was born in Newington.
