Unable to find birth of Thomas Bowles c1767. Have found his marriage to Elizabeth Webb in 1786 at St. John de Sepulchre Norwich also his death in 1809 Norwich.
There is a Thomas Bowles b1767 in Gt Yarmouth but the rest of info do not match.
Any help would be appreciated.

Have discounted the Thomas in Gt Yarmouth as he was born, married & died in Gt Yarmouth.
I think this is going to be a brick wall without a door

Have you looked outside of Norfolk for a Baptism for Thomas?

Just because he Married, Baptised Children and died in Norwich it does not he was born there.

You may already have these Children Baptised to Thomas/Elizabeth in Norwich, Norfolk;
THOMAS, 25 March 1787
SARAH, 16 Aug 1789, buried 17 Jan 1790
WILLIAM, 9 Jan 1791
ANN, 28 April 1793, buried 14 Oct 1793
JOHN, 30 Nov 1794

Anns has a note; Militia

Found his Burial under Thos 1809, age 42, Widower
Gosh Elizth died 3 weeks earlier age 42 (both from a illness?)

Are these also their Children?
Burials;
CHARLES, 20 June 1809 age 3
ROBERT, 10 Nov 1810, Infant
Parents THOS/ELIZTH

There is a Thomas Baptised 1766 Wymondham  to Andrew/Rebecca.
As Thomas doesnt use those names for his Children it is unlikely to be him.

All above on FreeREG

Not much help I'm sorry.

Not so strange as he must have been in the Militia c 1793 at least.

Did a bit of googling and found this;

Quote from that;
May 16 1792; Western Regiment of the Suffolk Militia met here on Monday last, but the clothes and hats did not meet them their appearance was not very military.

CHARLES you have I presume born 12 March 1806, buried as I posted age 3.
ROBT born 9 March 1809, christened 21 May 1809, died as I posted
So Elizabeth died soon after having Robert 3 Sept 1809
