In 1845, before they married, Thomas was &#8220;a bit of a lad&#8221;. He was 5&#8242; tall, had black hair, hazel eyes, a sallow complexion, and a scar on his right knee. How do we know? This is how he was described when he was committed to gaol, the Bedford New House of Correction, for breaking glass windows. His sentence was two calendar months hard Labour in the mill at the gaol. He must have been &#8216;reformed&#8217;, as when he died in 1901 he left his effects, \u00a3123, to George Chandler, a Baptist Minister.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-81e9940 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"81e9940\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5b00ec1\" data-id=\"5b00ec1\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d5f86f8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"d5f86f8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"887\" src=\"https:\/\/williamsfamilytree.co.uk\/pw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Fathers-Tree-of-Jack-Cowley-2-768x1064.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-849\" alt=\"Fathers Tree of Jack Cowley\" srcset=\"https:\/\/williamsfamilytree.co.uk\/pw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Fathers-Tree-of-Jack-Cowley-2-768x1064.jpg 768w, https:\/\/williamsfamilytree.co.uk\/pw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Fathers-Tree-of-Jack-Cowley-2-217x300.jpg 217w, https:\/\/williamsfamilytree.co.uk\/pw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Fathers-Tree-of-Jack-Cowley-2-739x1024.jpg 739w, https:\/\/williamsfamilytree.co.uk\/pw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Fathers-Tree-of-Jack-Cowley-2-1109x1536.jpg 1109w, https:\/\/williamsfamilytree.co.uk\/pw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Fathers-Tree-of-Jack-Cowley-2-1478x2048.jpg 1478w, https:\/\/williamsfamilytree.co.uk\/pw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Fathers-Tree-of-Jack-Cowley-2.jpg 1790w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Jack Cowley's Ancestors<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-8a5b066 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"8a5b066\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ee5c00d\" data-id=\"ee5c00d\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2eefbbb elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2eefbbb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>And finally, for now at least, Jack&#8217;s great, great grandparents, <a href=\"https:\/\/williamsfamilytree.co.uk\/tree\/familychart.php?familyID=F33104&amp;tree=wft\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">John Cowley and Sarah Darnell<\/a>.

Their son, <a href=\"https:\/\/williamsfamilytree.co.uk\/tree\/getperson.php?tree=wft&amp;personID=I109759\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Henry<\/a>, was also a farmer and he married <a href=\"https:\/\/williamsfamilytree.co.uk\/tree\/getperson.php?tree=wft&amp;personID=I109760\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ellen Goss<\/a>.
