As for the Bowdens, there is another spelling: BOULDEN. And there is a long illustrious line of those in the St Keverne area, dating back to the 1590s

The Bouldens are indeed an illustrious family, but I'd be surprised if they are connected with the Bowdens of Devon and Cornwall. There are at least two unrelated families called Bowden: not only in Devon and Cornwall but also around Manchester. The latter pronounce "Bow-" to rhyme with "low", but the former to rhyme with "how". "The first Bouldens apparently came from Cheshire, and Bowdens are thin on the ground between Cheshire and Devon.

I had a query about this post the other day, to which I replied, but I'm not sure my reply went, as I havent well figured out how the personal messages work. As there was nothing private about my reply, I'll post it here.

I don't know much about the Cheshire Bowdens, though I've lived in Cheshire within walking distance of the village of Bowdon. We learned that the Cheshire Bowdens exist from the fact that my sister had a job in Manchester, at which her boss was a Mr Bowden, with the Bow- rhyming with "low", not with "how", as it usually does in the southwest.
