- 1953 (March Quarter) Death Entry: COWLING, Edward, 85, Derby, 2a, 325
Petty Officer in Royal Navy. Family of three occupying 2 rooms in 1901.
Edward became a Stoker/Chief Stoker in the Royal Navy, joining on 18 May 1887 for a 12 year engagement, and leaving on 29 May 1899. At some stages he worked alongside his elder brother John.
The following is an extract from St. Agnes Town School Log Book, 1865-1887:
November 17-21, 1873 - Admitted infants from other school, (1) T Smith, (2) E Cowling, (3) T McNeil, (4) J Lawry. These are not so forward as those sent in last year from same school. [From his age, this is thought to be Edward.]
June 1-6, 1875 - Sent Edward Cowling home the same day [Thursday] having suspected that he had the measles about him.
The results of the Drawing Examination for 1879 show that Edward achieved 'Excellent' in the 1st Grade Freehand, and likewise achieved 'G' in the 1880 examination.
On the 1901 Census he is living at 6, Fernhurst Road, Fulham, with his wife Evelyn and daughter Evelyn Gladys, and, by 1904, lived in Hurlingham, Fulham, by which time their daughter, Margaret Ethel (known as Madge) had been born.
After the war he worked as an engineer at Lots Road Power Station, Chelsea.
At sometime 'Uncle Ned' lived at Wheal Dreath Cottage, Beacon Road, St. Agnes.
The following is a brief obituary of Edward Cowling:
'NATIVE OF ST. AGNES.—The death occurred last week at his home in Derby, of Mr. Edward Cowling, aged 86 a member of an old St. Agnes family, and late of Wheal Dreath Cottage Higher Bal, St. Agnes. Mr. Cowling, the fifth son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Cowling, formerly of Bank House, Churchtown, served his apprenticeship with the late Mr. T. Lockett, a former blacksmith of Peter- ville, St. Agnes, and at the aged of 18 he joined the Navy. He served in Australia in the Cleopatra and retired after 12 years' service. Subsequently he went to London where, until his retirement at 65, he was on the staff of an electric power station at Chelsea. Mr. and Mrs. Cowling then returned to St. Agnes, where they con- tinued to live until about six years ago, when they moved to Derby to be near their only child (Mrs. F. Hartree). Mrs. Cowling was formerly Miss Evelyn Solomon, also of St. Agnes[.] Six years ago Mr. and Mrs. Cowling cele- brated their golden wedding. Mr. Cowling is survived by three sisters, Mrs. J. Down and Miss F. Cowling (St. Agnes), and Mrs. W. Sherman (Redruth).'

- 1898 (June Quarter) Marriage Entry: COWLING, Edward, Truro, 5c., 208 SOLOMON, Evelyn, Truro, 5c., 208
From 'The Royal Cornwall Gazette Falmouth Packet, Cornish Weekly News, & General Advertiser,' Tuesday, June 30, 1898 (Issue 4953):
-----Wedding at St. Agnes----- 'A very pretty wedding took place at the parish church, St. Agnes, on the 22nd inst., the contracting parties being Mr. Edward Cowling, fifth son of the late Mr. Isaac Cowling, of the Bank House, and Miss Evelyn Soloman, youngest daughter of Capt. James Soloman, of Foundry-hill. The ceremony took place at eleven o'clock, and a large congregation had assembled as the bride entered the church, and was conducted to the altar by her brother Mr. Albert Soloman. She was attired in a dress of white silk, with a picture hat and carried a shower bouquet, the gift of the bridegroom's mother. The bridesmaids were Miss Agnes Cowling (sister of the bridegroom), Miss Madge Cowling (niece of the bridegroom), Miss Evelyn Soloman (niece of the bride), who wore a dress of cream silk, and Miss Annie Gummow, and Miss Ethel Cowling (niece of the bridegroom), who wore shot silk dresses. The service was fully choral. As the bridal party entered the church the choir and congregation sang the hymn 'The voice that breathed o'er Eden,' and chanted the 68th Psalm. The Rev. P. Morgan officiated. At the conclusion of the service the 'Wedding March' was ably played by Mr. W. S. Hooper, of Blackwater, who also played earlier an Andante Pastorelle and a Wedding March by Birch. The church bells pealed out a merry peal. Both the bride and bridegroom were formerly choristers. The presents were numer- ous and costly. Mr. W. Cowling, junr., acted as 'best man.' During the afternoon the wedded couple left for the Lizard.'
