What type of info are you after? And what do you already have? I have found quite a bit of census info and a few BMD's. Do you want this sort of thing or is it personal /anecdotal you require. Also are we going backwards or forwards.
Let me know and I'll post anything I can find.

I have information on Fanny Wise, her birth, marriage and death, but no burial.
Samuel Evan, I have his marriage to Fanny, the date of marriage to no.2, Mary Adams 1890, and his death.
But I can't find any information regarding his two children, William Wise Cowap and Florence Cowap, apart from their baptism at Midhurst.

Any information regarding them and their descendants is appreciated.
Regards,
Barrie.

A possibly related Samuel?
COWAP, Samuel Christening
Gender: Male
Christening Date: 24 Aug 1840 Recorded in: Tarporley, Cheshire, England
Father: William COWAP
Mother: Ellen
Source: FHL Film 1751854 Dates: 1825 – 1852
Samuel appears to have 2 brothers from same source film. William christened 29 May 1833 and John christened 6 Aug 1837.

No John Wise + Mary marriage 1811 – 1819 on the Vital Records Index. Have noted it down to check Boyd’s.
From the National Burials Index.
Sorry, no Wise Burials Sussex 1887 + or - 5 years
No Cowap burials whatsoever 1538 - 2000, but it is not a complete transcription.

And finally I have an excel spreadsheet with 48 Cowaps still living in the Tarporley area with Addresses. Maybe one of them is descended.
If you send me an e-mail I can send them back to you. I couldn’t send them off list before, as you don’t have e-mail enabled through the site. Mine is so you don’t have to open yours if you don’t want to.
Hope it helps
