1841 lookup please - Bowler, Dunstable

[ggrocott]

Looking for John Bowler baptised 1760 Woburn, Beds.  I believe he may be in Dunstable in 1841 and would like to know who he was living with.  I think he married Ann Burdett.

Any help much appreciated.

Thank you very much.

There's a burial of John Bowler aged 86 in Husborne Crawley on 28 June 1846, and an Elizabeth Bowler aged 88 on 4 March 1849.

There's also a marriage on 28 Nov 1786 in Husborne Crawley, between John Bowler and Elizabeth Arnold, both of the parish of H-C (per PR transcript)

I can't see burials in Dunstable of the John and Ann who married there in 1782

Thank you for that David.  The son of John and Ann Bowler, John Bliss Bowler moved to Bath in Somerset so may be they left the area too.

There's a John Bowler 67 b Dunstable, a visitor in Bathwick, Bath in 1851.

There are burials in Bathwick of John Bowler aged 68 on 18 Dec 1828 and of Ann Bowler aged 64 on 1 Feb 1826, which fit agewise with a 1782 marriage

thank you David, I had not found those burials - I had assumed it was just John Bliss Bowler who moved to Somerset but it looks as if the whole family went - I wonder what made them move from Dunstable to Bath!
