Thanks everyone for your help.The Vowles relates to Alice Vowles of Street whose family were originally Fowl(e)s. A lot of Vowles in Somerset and I wonder if it was thought Fowls not so grand?  Mark

I am difficulty finding the 1871 census as I was hoping to check places of births and where the census was taken. Free cen and Family  Search are drawing blanks unless I have missed.

Hi Mabel, thank you so much. I can't open the link to Robert's family or seem to find it when looking myself. Any suggestions please? Thanks Mark

Me too now! I think I may somehow have added a stray extra character in the link. Try this

If not, when I searched for Julia Fowels in Bristol in 1871, it was the first record returned
