Cowzer Family Page

Cowzer Family Website

This website is intended to be the gateway to all of our websites covering our interests. It will also link to many other sites which complement our own sites.

We have moved

Although it should not look like it, we have moved this (and the Cowzer Family History) website. The www.cowzer.com address stays the same but we have moved to a new hosting company who provide some technical features that were not available to us on the previous host. Technically these are SSI and CGI, and with these we can do extra with the site. Once the serious work with the new www.dsdac.com site is completed I hope to implement some new features here and in the family history pages. In the meantime I have taken this opportunity to correct some of the broken links of the old site.

Cowzer Family History

This site is an attempt to uncover the family history of the cowzers. Apparently all the cowzers in Dublin are descended from Thomas Cowzer(married 1879) who came from Belfast, but recently we have made contact with Doreen Cowzer(last of the cowzer name in Belfast) who is in possession of the family bible, and this has traced the cowzers back to John Cowzer (born 1813) and who married in Tallow, Co. Waterford, before moving north. more....

Dundrum South Dublin AC

Dundrum South Dublin Athletic Club is the Athletic Club Website that we are currently building and managing. It contains very up to date club and athletics news and continues with some of the features originally developed for the Rathfarnham site. These include Race Time, Distance and Pace Calculator, a Calendar of Irish Athletics events (and it is the most up to date on the web). It is also built using a home developed content management system which facilitates easy updating of news and archives. more....

Lorna's Wedding

Lorna's wedding to Graham Singleton on September 9, 2006 was a great day. Photos from the day. more....

Ireland Athletics Photo Gallery

As I regularly take photos of athletic events for the DSD AC website, but often only publish about 10% of them, I thought I would set up a site to contain all the photos I take. These may be of use to other clubs/athletes. I have increased the space available to this site, so can now keep photos for much longer periods. Hopefully these will provide a photographic history of many young Irish athletes. more....

Future Plans

For qa long time now I have planned to revise the Family History with all the additional information I have obtained over the years. I would also like to make the family tree structure a bit easier to view and maintain. I have lost of ideas and have begun working on some of them - making enough time available to see them through is the challenge. I hope to put together a site about my neat little sports car (Toyota MR2, mid-engined, black, and a two seater) which is my pride and joy (or mid life crisis as my wife and kids describe it). I have planned doing this for four years now, and maybe I'll eventually get around to it. In the meantime, here is a few photos of the car MR2....
