ROWLES Family Tree

with links to British India

info from cilla_o@hotmail.com

I am trying to trace my family of Forrest's. My Grandmother was: Mary Isabel Forrest.  Her father was Timothy Forrest.
Don't know who her mother was. I know that Mary I Forrest was married to Ernest Hiscock (from Isle of Wight). Ernest Hiscock died in the First World War and Mary married again a George Charles Rowles in India. My father Leslie was only about 2 yrs old when his father Ernest Hiscock died. My father, Leslie changed his name to Rowles just before he married my Mum, Thelma.  I guess he felt George was the only father he knew when he was growing up he wanted to do this for his mother, Mary. My Dad, Leslie's real father was Ernest Hiscock.  I know Ernest was born in Carisbrook in the Isle of Wight.     I don't know when he or Mary went out to India.  If anyone has Forrest in their tree I would love to hear from them. Regards Cilla O'Hanlon
