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.

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.
