Death for Benjamin Bowman - COMPLETED
« on: Monday 09 May 11 10:32 BST (UK) »
Could anyone help me with a look for a death for a Benjamin Bowman.  Benjamin was born 1907 at Wetheral his father was Robert Bowman (Blacksmith)  and his Mother Mary Murray.  He married in 1927 - Carlisle to Elizabeth Armstrong.
His death is a msytery to me!

Regards
Oletta

It looks as though Benjamin and Elizabeth (nee Armstrong) Bowman lived after they married at Merith Avenue, Carlisle, Cumberland

Can you please post the date that their last child was born as that would help to narrow down searching for Benjamins death.

Though the 1911 census states that he was born 1907, just three months into the year he was possibly born 1906. Do you have his birth cert? Its just I can't find a Benjamin Bowman b Carlisle district in the right time frame. If he was buried under another name, it may be why you can't find him.   

Just a thought.

Hello Jo

Thank you for information.  No I don't have his birth certificate, I was just going by the 1911 census, but I am like you I do not think he was born in Wetheral.

I think we need to go back to the marriage as we cant find a birth or death record for Benjamin.

Do you have the marriage certificate of Robert Bowman to Mary Murray  ???.
