Northumberland Lookup Requests / Re: Burial lookup - Preston - Bowles

Thank you so much for doing this for me, it is very appreciated! I did get there last week and added more graves to findagrave, but didn’t manage to see it. Hopefully I will be able to get there soon.

Again, thank you for all your help.

The archives came back to me to say Jonathan is buried in the same plot as his first wife Clara.

Unfortunately I haven’t been able to find the grave, although it is documented on a BillionGraves - using the gps it’s in a very overgrown part of the cemetery. Hopefully the weeds will be cut back at some point and I might be able to see if he is named on the stone, as the picture on Billiongraves only shows his first wifes name.

Thank you to everyone for your help with this.

Thank you so much for looking this up for me. He lived in Grey street, and was a fisherman, so it’s definitely him.

I’m definitely one step nearer to finding him!

Thanks again RTL x

Thanks for the offer - usually in the summer I manage to get to the library during my holidays, but I’ve missed this year, so I have a growing list of things to look for! I could stay for a couple of days easily once they reopen.

I’ll let you know if they aren’t able to look for me.

Thanks again

Thanks RTL. I  Knew that the archives were still closed, but wasn’t sure about North Shields as I don’t live nearby.  I’ll email them just incase.

I’ll also add it to my list for my next visit, just incase!

Thanks

Thank you both for the very quick replies and information - sorry, 1921 was a typo 🙄

Is there any way to find out roughly out where the headstone may be?  His second wife’s headstone was erected by her brother, so I assume he must be separately buried?

Thanks

Hi

If anyone has access to the burial records for Preston cemetary, could they please lookup Jonathan Thomas Bowles died 22 March 1921. I’ve found his  first wife Clara Bowles, and second wife Mary Elizabeth In separate plots, but he doesn’t seem to be buried with either?

Thanks

Thanks for that - he was obviously a well regarded member of the community.  Do you by any chance know where he was buried?

My line goes down through his daughter Alice, then a few Stephens - he was obviously esteemed in the family for so many people to be named after him. I haven’t seen his obit - where did you find it?
I tentatively had Joseph and Elizabeth as possible parents, but haven’t found anything other than a record on familysearch to back this up.
