Many thanks. I agree, he could have died anywhere in England. Best wishes

Just about to suggest the same as Carole. Remember if he was a railway engineer he could have died anywhere in the country.

Freebmd shows 15 deaths for George Bowler between 1854-1861 but no ages shown

You can narrow it down by checking the age at death on the GRO website

If you have bought certs from GRO you will have created a login and password - if not you will have to register which is free

All searches are free and you just need to use the info found on freebmd against those 15 entries

Yorkshire (West Riding) / George Bowler death record
« on: Friday 08 September 17 23:13 BST (UK)  »
George Bowler, my 2xgreat grandfather was born in 1824 at Burneston, North Yorkshire. He married Mary Elliott, his first cousin, on 31 December 1846 at St Peter,s Leeds. The last reference I have, is the 1851 census which shows him as a boarder in Exeter, St David, Devon. Mary is at Hunslet, Leeds with their first son Thomas. I can't find George in the 1861 census, Mary is again in Hunslet now with their two sons, she is recorded as a widow. The second son George William was born on 9 April 1855, so I have been searching for George's death between August 1854 and the 1861 census, but with no success. George was an engineer and the 1851 census shows him to be a railway engineer.
Grateful for any help.

Thank you for your reply to the above subject.
Mary did marry David Stephenson on 27 March 1837 in the parish of Aldborough. Although I can't confirm David's death, Mary married Thomas Houseman on 15 Feb 1844, as a widow, at Berneston.

I have been trying to find birth details, in yorkshire,  for my 3xgreat grandfather thomas bowler. I have his birth as 1795, but have not found a record to verify this date.

His burial record for Aldborough nr Boroughbridge gives his age as 40. As he was buried in July there is about a 60% chance he had his birthday for that year, but he could have been born late 1794. All this depends on accuracy of the informant. Did his wife survive him? There is a marriage for a Mary Bowler of B'bridge by lic to a David Stephenson in Aldborough in 1837. No mention of marital status. No cert just old style record - married before 1 July 1837.

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Thomas Bowler, about 1795, yorkshire
« on: Tuesday 05 September 17 20:04 BST (UK)  »
I have been trying to find birth details, in yorkshire,  for my 3xgreat grandfather thomas bowler. I have his birth as 1795, but have not found a record to verify this date. The only birth which might be his is 1793 at Aston, Yorkshire his parents being George & Abigail Bowler.
Thomas married Mary Hare at Burneston on 20 dec 1823, they had four sons, George, the first born, was my 2xgreat grandfather. Thomas was a gamekeeper when George was born. He then became a publican, firstly at Leeming, then at the Black Lion inn in Boroughbridge. He died in Boroughbridge in 1835, and was buried there on 23 July 1835.
I would appreciate any comments to help me with  this, many thanks.
