'41, '51, '61, '71 Whitehaven BOWE family

[adamson342]

Dear All,

I'm hoping you may be able to help me with the following. I am looking for further census returns of an individual I have just found in the 1881 census.

The 1881 census return reads:

Daniel BOWE, 47, born Isel, Cumberland
Residing in 40 George Street, Whitehaven, Cumberland
Occup - Printer Compositor

Wife, Martha BOWE, 47, born Harrington, Cumberland

Children,
Francis, Martha, Annie, Joseph, Margaret A., Sarah

The original should be visible here:

If I could receive your help in traceing Daniel BOWE back to 1841, I would be most grateful.

There is a chance that Daniel's surname is actually "BLOW(E)" - (or at least that's what I'm hoping!)

Many thanks in advance,
Sam

He's not recorded as Blow - so you think he is still yours?
Hang on for 1841 if he is to get parents.

Thanks Tricia,

That's great work. It doesn't appear that he is a "Blowe", does it. I think it will maybe depend on the name and profession of his father.

Many thanks again - most appreciated.

Hi Sam,
I have looked on the 1841 in Isell, Wythop and Cockermouth with no sign of him.
It does look like he moved to Whitehaven after he married, as he married in Cockermouth-
From Freebmd
Marriage Dec 1857
Daniel Bowe  Cockermouth  10b 752 & on the same page Martha Elliot
this is the only marriage that pops up if you search for Daniel Bowe marrying a Martha.
I looked on the IGI for Daniels birth and the only one I found was in CrossCanonby on 9th June 1833, father Daniel mother Sarah.
I have found this Daniel on the '41-
CrossCanonby
Daniel Bowes  45  Ag Lab  Y
Sarah  45  Y
Daniel  8  Y
William Bowes  78  Ind  Y
Jane  83  Y

I do have a list of all the Bowe/Bowes familys in Cockermouth if you want it.
