Bowden & Goulde Family

[weemary]

ThanksCas and osprey  for a very quick response.  Have to now print it out and digest it.  The fact Wm is originally from Devon, and English made me laugh,  as hubby thinks he is 100% Scottish.

I have the 1881 census at home,  couldn't find the family.  As Elizabeth died here in Greenock, another visit to park Circus is required.

Thank you all once again

May be a long shot, but my step-father's family are all Gould's (in South Wales), and his brother has done extensive research into the family - I know that the family were originally from Devon, but don't know the specifics.

I'll print this off and speak to him this week (won't be tonite) to see if he has any matches on this.

Sorry - not a part of our lot 

I'm not that into the Gould side of the family as it's my step-father's side (nothing personal, just not blood related).

Seems that (and you probably know this) a lot of families came from Devon to Wales following the coal industry and a stable job.

Not to worry -  thanks for taking the time to check

Greetings,
  I have just received the marriage certificate of William Bowden and Elizabeth Gould. They married 25 Feb 1869.  This Certificate confirms that William is the son of Henry Bowden and is my Great uncle. He Died 1879.  I am waiting for the death cert.  I am certainly looking forward to receiving more information about  Williams Descendants.

Greetings to All,
William Bowden is my Great Uncle that I have been searchingh for.  All of your notes are very helpful and I will follow up on them as this is the focus of my research. 
William was the son of Henry Bawden and Elizabeth Webber.  He was born 29 March 1847 in North
Molton Devon.  Had two brothers, James Bawden and Joseph Bowden.  Names changes++.
If any of you are a descendant of this family, Please contact me.
Thank you
Winnifred
