Welcome to Rootschat!
Hope you found this thread helpful - we got lucky with the extract from Samuel Whitbread's Notebook.
Is this family in your direct line?
Regards
David

http://www.surnamedb.com/surname.aspx?name=Bowskill
says it's from the place Bowscale in Cumberland
Do you know your grandfather's name, and any of his details? If we can get back to 1901 it should b e easy to trace them as they all came from the one Bowskill family in Langford, although by 1851 they'd all moved to Arlesey! A coincidence that the name should have returned from whence it started in Beds.

Hello Everyone,
This is my first post in this forum, and I'm coming in a little bit late, but nonetheless ...
My Bowskill lineage is also through William, but then through George(1801), George(1828), George(1868) and Nellie(1898).
In the absence of any other information, I always assumed that this line came from the earlier Bowskills in Biggleswade, eg. Arthur who looks to have married twice and produced voluminous offspring, but as has been mentioned here data in the 1700s is scarce.
So my questions are:
1) Is there any link that people know of between the Elizabethan Bowskills in Biggleswade and the 19th century Bowskills, or did they all die out without progeny?
2) Has anyone been able to trace the Eaton Bowskills back any further?
3) Any information on 20th century Bowskills in Bedforshire would also be appreciated.
Thanks for any help. I'm pleased that I now know more about William and Sarah, but given the extensive information available on the Notts Bowskills it would be nice to go back even further.
Incidentally, I live in Australia :-)
Regards
Chris

Hi Chris
Welcome to Rootschat!
I've been through the IGI and the National Burial Index and can find no Bowskills/Boskills in Biggleswade - the early ones were all in one or other of the Bedford parishes, including two or three Arthurs. Where did you find the Biggleswade data?
I've no idea if there was any connection between the early Bedford Bowskills and the Notts family - there are no Arthurs in Notts on the IGI, but I don't know what the Notts coverage is like.
Regards
David

David,
Mea culpa - I meant Bedford rather than Biggleswade, as you rightly point out. DFS (Dyslexic Finger Syndrome).
I suppose that the relative scarcity of the name, the fact that everything was in Bedfordshire, and also that families tended to be sedentary over a long period of time suggested to me that there was a lineage there.
From what I've seen (or perhaps more correctly, not seen) so far I suspect that may not be the case.
Regards
Chris

Hi Chris
I don't think, from the Settlement Examination, that there is any doubt that William Bowskill who originated the 19th century Bowskills in Beds was from Eaton in Notts.
I'll take a look at these families over the next few days and see if I can find out what became of the Bedford branch in the 1600s. Odd that they seemed to just fizzle out
Regards
David

Hi Jimmy,
Do I take it that your nom de plume indicates a musical bent?
What am I after? My data for the Bowskills in the 19th century is reasonably complete, but 20th century is more difficult to track down. In particular, I'm trying to track the rest of George(1868)'s family. So really, anything you have would be appreciated for me to fill in the gaps. Of course I would then return the compliment. If you would send me a PM with your email address I will contact you.
My thanks to everyone for your help.
Regards
Chris

hello,
walter was drowned in the cement pit whilst bathing with two other boys,his father john was attendant at the lunatic asylum.the inscription on the headstone relates to his musical skill at the organ
which he played at st peters church arlesey.i have a newspaper clip somewhere about a doctor ? cant recall his name who was awarded the bronze medal for trying to save his life by diving in and bringing him out on the fourth attempt.
samual and william bowskill brothers were jailed for assault on a police man,and samual again for poaching in the 1800s.
best regards jim.
