I have been trying to find birth details, in yorkshire, for my 3xgreat grandfather thomas bowler. I have his birth as 1795, but have not found a record to verify this date. The only birth which might be his is 1793 at Aston, Yorkshire his parents being George & Abigail Bowler.
Thomas married Mary Hare at Burneston on 20 dec 1823, they had four sons, George, the first born, was my 2xgreat grandfather. Thomas was a gamekeeper when George was born. He then became a publican, firstly at Leeming, then at the Black Lion inn in Boroughbridge. He died in Boroughbridge in 1835, and was buried there on 23 July 1835.
I would appreciate any comments to help me with this, many thanks.

Welcome to Rootschat. :)
I have asked a moderator to move this to the Yorkshire board as you have posted on the wrong board.

Early records are at Sheffield archives if anyone fancies a trip.

His burial record for Aldborough nr Boroughbridge gives his age as 40. As he was buried in July there is about a 60% chance he had his birthday for that year, but he could have been born late 1794. All this depends on accuracy of the informant. Did his wife survive him? There is a marriage for a Mary Bowler of B'bridge by lic to a David Stephenson in Aldborough in 1837. No mention of marital status. No cert just old style record - married before 1 July 1837.

Thank you for your reply to the above subject.
Mary did marry David Stephenson on 27 March 1837 in the parish of Aldborough. Although I can't confirm David's death, Mary married Thomas Houseman on 15 Feb 1844, as a widow, at Berneston.
