Bowie in ayrshire
« on: Friday 15 April 05 22:39 BST (UK) »
HI LOOKING FOR DECENDANTS OF THE BOWIE FAMILY WHO OWNED THE GREENNAN LAUNDRY AT ALLOWAY  NEAR AYR IN AYRSHIRE
THEY STAYED AT GLENAPP NEAR BALLANTRAE AND HAD ONE DAUGHTER (JANICE WHO WOULD BE ABOUT 56 YEARS OF AGE) AND ONE SON (ROBIN)
I THINK THEY ALSO OWNED A LAUNDRY IN STRANAER.

I can't help you with Bowie but I can tell you a little of Doonfoot Mill which became the Greenan Laundry also the South Ayrshire Council Website has a little about the area.
Also might be worth trying puting a tracing message in the local paper.
http://www.gallowaygazette.com
I suggest you try 192.com, you'll get the current addresses and tel. nos there
You can let me know if you want to know about the mill.
Ayrshire:- Wilson, Donald, Pearson, Milligan, Wallace
Surrey:- Langford, Mullard, O'Neill
Special interest:- Loudoun parish
