The elusive Amy Bowen
« on: Sunday 24 October 04 10:21 BST (UK) »
I'm trying to trace my great grandmother Amy Bowen born Hereford 1882. I know she went to work in Lothersdale, Yorks for mill owners but became pregnant and returned to Hereford to have the baby-Ernest Wilson Bowen- (who was then brought up in Wales by other relatives.) The last we know of her was 1907, a postcard sent from Titley, Hereford. We realise she could have gone anywhere and have searched for her on just about everything possible. We'd love to know what became of her. Any information or ideas would be most welcome.

Have you tried under Boughen? I have some in my tree from Norfolk and they have even been mistranscribed as Bongham! Not to be confused with my Banham or Bankhams!!!
