The new House of Commons: Mr. J. Cowen, M.P. for Newcastle-On-Tyne, 1874. Engraving from a photograph by Messrs. W. and D. Downey. 'Mr. Joseph Cowen, of Stella House, Blaydon, in the county of Durham, chosen in the advanced Liberal interest for Newcastle-on-Tyne, is eldest son of the late Sir Joseph Cowen, of Stella Hall, who represented Newcastle in the last two Parliaments, by his wife, Mary, daughter of Mr. Anthony Newton, of Winlaton, in the county of Durham. He was born in the year 1831, and was educated at private schools and at the University of Edinburgh. He is described as a coal-owner and fire-brick manufacturer, in the neighbourhood of Newcastle. He is also proprietor of the Newcastle Daily and Weekly Chronicle. He married a daughter of Mr. John Thompson, of Hatfield, in the county of Durham. Mr. Cowen was first returned to Parliament, it will be remembered, a week or two before the late dissolution; but, as he had never taken his seat in St. Stephen's, he may be allowed to count as a new member'. From "Illustrated London News", 1874.
