Hi Ash,

Yes they are all online-I get them from my local library with my library ticket through Infotrac. It's 19th century British Newspapers, some 75 altogether, newspapers from all over the UK; the Hampshire area there a couple and also in Isle of Wight. In some libraries they do Times Digital as well, 1785 to 1985.

Hi all,

Sorry to re-hash this one, but I'm wondering if anyone could get a copy or print out or pdf of the notices of death for Harry and Richard Bayly for me? I cannot seem to find anywhere to access them in Australia.

Thanks :)

Hi All,

I'm posting this here because I didn't think it would make sense without all the background. I've found a bunch of birth records for Elizabeth Bowden and Benjamin Hobbs. I'm wondering if there are newspaper records or something else that would give me a bit more proof that these kids actually belong to Benjamin and Elizabeth

Frederick Charles born 1850, Gosport Hampshire and died 1851, Alverstoke Hampshire
Eliza Frances born 1851 Alverstoke died 1851
Catherine Ann born 1852 Gosport/Alverstoke
Lucy Jane born 1853 Gosport/Alverstoke
Alice Grant born 1855 Gosport/Alverstoke
Eliza Maria born 1857 Gosport/Alverstoke
George Edward born 1858 died 1860 Alverstoke
Margaret Abigail Augusta born 1859 Gosport/Alverstoke
Francis Walter born 1863

any help would be greatly appreciated

Ash

Six years have gone by since the last post on the subject of Lt John Bowden, but I suppose someone may still be reading.

The Lt John Bowden that I know about was the only child of Ambrose Bowden (1750, Tywardheath; 1822, Rame) and his first wife Joan (née Booth, d. before April 1779). He later married her sister Elizabeth, and I am descended from one of the sons from this second marriage. My interest in John is thus moderate: I shall be interested to add to my sparse knowledge, but not interested enough to do a lot of searching.

The following is an account by his half-brother, William, my great-greatgrandfather:

“John Bowden, from a miniature I remember seeing, was a handsome, high spirited young gentleman. He was a Lieutenant in the Navy, and performed some dashing exploits which I forget. He was obliged to leave the Navy for knocking down, or attempting to knock down, his superior Officer. He afterwards commanded trading vessels. He was fond of public houses. He married and left two daughters; how they turned out, or what became of them, I do not know.”

This seems reasonably in accord with the account of your John Bowden’s career that appeared earlier in us discussion.
