DOES ANY ONE HAVE ANY DETAILS ON JOHN COWLING BORN ABT 1831 BROTHER OF MY GREAT GREAT GRANDFATHER JOSEPH COWLING. BOTH BORN IN ESSEX. JOHN WAS A MASTER ON THE LORD PALMERSTON IN 1861 AND MASTER OF JAMES (2) IN 1871. I CANNOT FIND HIM OR HIS WIFE MARIA IN THE CENSUS YEAR 1881? POSSIBLY ONBOARD OR ABROAD. JOHN DIED IN 1908 IN ESSEX, BUT LOOKS LIKE HE ADOPTED AN ALICE TURNER ACCORDING TO THE 1891 CENSUS.
