Australia / Re: Mystery: William Bowman NSW
« on: Monday 08 January 18 12:00 GMT (UK)  »
Hello, I have just come across this site and was browsing through your posts. A couple of interesting points, I am the niece of Mildred Sollars and Dick Bowman Narromine NSW.  I only ever knew him as "Dick", everyone called him Dick.  He was a wonderful uncle and I loved him dearly, as I did Aunty Millie.  Grandfather William George Sollars, known as George, arrived 1911  as stated in your information.  He worked on the railway at Junee NSW and when Annie, Mildred and Ivy arrived in Sydney, the family were advised to move to a warmer climate on account of Millies health, so they moved to Narromine.  Aunty Millie did say they were booked to sail on the "Titanic" but due to Annie and Ivys mother falling ill just prior to sailing, their trip was postponed until 1912. Sadly their mother passed away.

I do recall Uncle Dick had a sister, Thelma, who married a Reagan, they often visited Uncle Dick and Aunty Millie.  The name Haliday was also associated with Uncle Dick, but I can't remember in what capacity.

Not sure if this helps or not, but best of luck.  Cheers Joy
