Rhode Island Marriages
« on: Friday 10 February 17 13:42 GMT (UK) »
Hi Folks,Looking for 3 marriages in Rhode Island:-

Louisa M. Bowler 1887-1965 & Mervyn C. Webster 1885-1963
Cathleen E. Bowler 1895-2000 & Ernest Champion 1898-1964
Silvia G. Bowler 1898-1981 & Edward B. Lenzen 1895-1939

Cannot find when they married.

Their parents were Samuel Edmund Bowler 1867-1944 & Mary A.L. Cook 1866-1933.  They emigrated in 1883 to Canada.  USA Census from 1910 put them in Rhode Island. So thinking the three marriages must have taken place there.

Have all the info on parents and their children, except the three above.

Thanks in anticipation for your help.

There is a family tree that says Louisa & Mervin married 7 Sep 1907 in Niantic, New London Co., Connecticut. 

There is a Connecticut marriage index here - http://ctstatelibrary.org/marriage-records/  She seems to be indexed as Louisa Bowles.

A family tree says that Sylvia/Silvia and Edward married circa 1919 and that their son was born 1920 in Bayonne, New Jersey.  So, they may have married somewhere other than Rhode Island.  There isn't anything comprehensive online for New Jersey marriages from that time frame.

The same tree says that Kathleen & Ernest married 18 Jul. 1922 in Westerly, Washington Co., Rhode Island.

Lovely to see a family tree with many photographs - always nice to put a face to a name.  ;)

shellyesq,

Speed of lightening you are!!  Really appreciate your help and thank you very much.  Been looking for months and one,two, three and up you come.

That must be Louisa and Mervyn as I have just found out New London is only 42 miles from Rhode Island.  The surname "Bowler" - Seen it spelt many ways. Depends who is hearing the name and then spells it as heard by them.
The other two will be correct as well.

Many thanks once again.
