Completed Yorkshire (East Riding & York) Requests / Re: 1851 Census - Even More York BOWMANs! - Completed Thank You
« on: Saturday 16 March 13 08:04 GMT (UK) »Dear John,Hi Pinetree
Thank you for your message.
My husband is descended from Moses' brother William (1817-1891) and his wife Rachel Bateman so you share the common ancestors Thomas Bowman (1783-1842) and Jane Bateman (1781-1859) making you distant cousins.
Our branch is from William's daughter Martha Bowman who married John Bentley. He was a butcher in The Shambles and she carried on the business after he died.
I have really enjoyed looking at your tree especially the photographs. Thomas and Jane Bowman are also buried in York Cemetery with a headstone which I could not see on your tree. My tree is not on Ancestry but I think others on there have added the photograph to their trees.
I don't have any further information on Frances Brownley at the moment but would be happy to help with that or any other aspect of the Bowman tree if I can.
I did find the marriage for Hannah and James Bowman, who were the original subjects of this thread, in the end. It took place on 11 Sep 1860 at St Maurice, York.
All the best for now,
Pinetree
Thanks for the reply keep your eyes open for The Brownleys
John
