You have Francis Thomas William Bowring as born 1882 and married Elizabeth Sarah in 1850.

A tree on Ancestry has him as married to Elizabeth Sarah, and with a daughter Gwendolyn Rhona Lees Bowring, born 1909.

GRO has this birth:

I think it best if those Rootschatters who wish to help read the following threads about the same family.
After all, it could save duplication of time and effort.

Hi

Apologies, = "Same link"

I was just going to paste same 3 into all 3, but didn't get to do it as a rather "hasty" hospital trip came up.

Been back about 45 minutes (yes that long)  >:(

Laura-Jane could "own up" if there are more than 3?, or I could check her posts again ?

Hi Laura Jane,
Thomas Bowring Snr was my ggg grandfather. I have some information about the Thomas Bowrings on the site https://chrund.wordpress.com/
aka "until the dawn breaks". I´m constantly updating it so if you follow that it may be useful. You can also e-mail me if you want as all the info isn`t on the site.
All the best,
Chris.
