Welcome to Rootschat

Fredrick and alice bowman

What do you want to know about them? I'm afraid unless you can give us some more information no one will be able to help. Anything will do - dates of birth, place of birth etc. don't mention the names of anyone who is or could still be alive.

If you know they were travellers then you might get more joy from this board:-

Hi Grasses,

Groom has the right family in the census, there are a couple of old posts on here from 2012 from people who are relatives sadly though one only posted on RC 7 times and the other only once.

Joc42 has also been active quite recently on another site talking about the Bowmans, so she maybe the person to contact via PM when you have done 3 posts on here. Have copied and pasted what I found on the other site, so you can read it.

ALSO WE HAVE CONNECTIONS TO THE BOWMAN FAMILY - WHO OWNED A FAIRGROUND AND TRAVELLED IN AND AROUND THE DEPTFORD AREA WELL INTO THE 50-60'S

 If it's not too late...

 I would like to communicate about Fred and Alice Bowman, the latter a distant first cousin. I have some information and a grainy photo, but there are gaps I would love to fill.

Hi Mark,

 Never too late! Not sure how much help I can be as my info is limited but I'll certainly try.

 Regards,

 Jo

Hello Jo

 My link to the Bowman family is via a distant first cousin, Fred Bowman's wife: Alice Eleanor Williams [1871-c1964]

 I have information about her and her Williams family background and where they came from. Do you have the painted lady article from the 1990's Mercury with her picture? I can send that if not. I think I also have one of Fred somewhere.

 Any thing you can tell me would be potentially useful for my compilation. If you feel able to share off this forum you can contact me via

 Regards

 Mark

I have removed the email address which I will PM you.
