hi, I am trying to find out more about Charles (Chas) Frederick Bowe b 1862 South Africa d 1946. He married Marion Mouskett of Moscow. The spelling of her name might be different, it is taken from an old hard to read family scroll. Chas was the brother of my great grandfather John Arthur Bowe who was a jeweller for Faberge in Moscow. It is probable that Chas lived in Russia, particularly knowing that his wife Marion came from a Moscow based family. Their parents were Dr Henry Bowe and Eliza Allan. I have plenty of information on Henry and Eliza, they were born in England, and died in South Africa, it is Chas and Marion that I am researching. Any help much appreciated. Regards Carol

Do you have the 1939 register with Charles and Marion on it?
Charles b. 1 June 1862
Marion b.14 Jan 1868
Charles is listed as a retired jeweller and they're living in London
Marion's probate in 1940 a year later states she died 2 May 1940 (named as Marion Arthur Bowe.)
If you go on findmypast there are some Russian records- I don't know how useful they'd be

Thank you so much for this. Strangely her brother in law was called Arthur, not her husband,. No wonder I coudn't find any details. Now I will try and find if they had any. Thanks again Carol

Children. The correct spelling of Marion's surname is confirmed as Mushet.

no sister that I am aware of. The family scroll says "son" nothing else
-
Eliza was 47 when she died and Dr Henry 43. Both buried in Capetown South Africa
-
Eliza was 47 when she died and Dr Henry 43. Both buried in Capetown South Africa
that record on IGI states she was 48 ?
-
I don't have Eliza's exact birth date only she was christened 7 May 1825. She died 6 June 1872. Looks like she just turned 48 you are correct
