marriage details

[boswood/bowman]

Hello,
I am trying to find some information on the marriage of Alice Bowman and Murray Albert Boswood in New Zealand probably around 1875 - 1885.  Murray Albert was born in Tasmania.  I would like to find out what happened when they went to Australia and if there were any children.

Thanks - Joy

Joy,
Did they get married in NZ and then come to Australia?  Do you know if they were in NSW or another state?

I looked on the AVRI which covers NSW Vic WA and Tas to about 1900 & couldn't find any children to your couple. There are a number of Boswoods - mainly in Tasmania, but none with the parents you mentioned

Hello Prue,
They were married in N.Z and then apparently went to Australia.  I think Redfern area in NSW.    Alice Bowman was supposed to have died either in child birth or not many years after.   This would be between 1906 - 1909.

Thanks for the information.

Hello Trish,

I think the birth was later than 1900.
Around 1906  - 1909 in NSW. Redfern district.

See my email to Prue

Hi Joy

Murray A Boswood married in 1912 at Newtown (Sydney) to Leavinia Armstrong Reg # 6806

Also...

Alice Boswood had a son Frederick A at Sydney in 1908...no father named Reg # 301

So perhaps Alice & Murray divorced?

There is no death for Alice or Murray up to 1945 that I could see in NSW

Hi Joy

I have been doing a little rummaging around to see if I could pinpoint anything on the family for you.

Firstly...That death of Alice I sent you...I can't tell you if that is yours or not as it is just a registered death of a Bowman...it could be a child for all I would know, but I thought you may know if it was yours or not.

However...

It appears to me that the family arrived here (NSW) circa 1893. The reason I give for this is, that I found a death of a Pearl Boswood 1893, to an Arthur & Eliza J Boswood at Burwood (Suburb of Sydney) [4422] Source: NSW Federation Series 1889-1918.
There is no marriage for Arthur & Eliza in NSW...remember he was  born Tas 1878, so it must have taken place elsewhere.

Arthur & Eliza only had one other child in NSW which was at Burwood 1894 named Wallace H.E. Boswood Son/of Arthur & Eliza J. Reg Year 1894 Reg # 9016 (birth info only goes up to 1918 due to privacy laws)

Fanny died 1904 at Newtown [10394] & an Alfred M 1911 son/of Thomas & Grieta at Wagga Wagga (Country town) [7812]...that is all the Boswood deaths in NSW for that period.

Next...
Source: NSW Between The Wars Index; 1919-1945 (Deaths & Marriages only)
Deaths
BOSWOOD, Priscilla K, 67 yrs old at Coast Hospital.
Place of registration: Redfern
Registration Year: 1919
Reg # 5794

1933 - BOSWOOD, Alfred G
Father: John
Mother: Fanny
Place of Reg: Granville (Suburb of Sydney
Reg. Year: 1933
Reg # 1028

This just helps confirm that the whole family came to NSW. The death certificates should reveal all the names of their children & asks the question where born & how long in Australia NSW  etc.

I can't recall if you mentioned what the 'C' of Alice C stood for...that is if Alice did have a second name.
I found an Alice Constance Bowman born to William C &  mother: BROWN, Jane Martin at Tasmania 31 Dec 1874 Reg Year:  1875 Reg # 678.

THE BIG FINISH...
