I really appreciate all the work all you have been doing on my behalf, but can we just recap on a few things.
On a very reliable Bowler Family Site (owner now deceased) I found and checked a lot of info I have and almost all (99%) tallies with mine. It goes back to the 1600's as does my tree.
Yes the parents of Samuel were John Bowler and Mary Barks. This site gives the Birth of Samuel 27/09/1840. No details of marriage.
1871 Census
Samuel Bowler b. 1841 Police Constable
Fanny b.1841 Watnall, Notts
Lucy A. b. 1865 Notts.
Minnie A. b. 1871 Radford, Notts.
amondg - Samuel to the USA in 1900 Census b. 1832 - therefore not mine. Sorry
- Have details of John Bowler and Mary Barks
- Minnie Ada (bowler) Wilkinson b. 1871 Radford, Notts and Lucy Annie (Bowler) Wilkinson
tallies with the abve 1871 Census.
Ladyhawk - Samuel in 1911 Census, 47 Chester Square married 1848. Not mine
Now on ANC been looking again at those trees with scant info for non-subscribed. There is one I found that states Samuel was married to a Fanny Wilkinson.
I decuct from this what I have on Samuel is correct, except it is not Fanny Bayliss, but Fanny Wilkinson. However I cannot find a marriage for them, plus cannot find a death date for him between 1881 and 1911. Given he was not there in 1881 and in 1891 Minnie is alone.
Again I do appreciate your help. I just want to clarify a few things.
