London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Re: John Henry Bowden Married Miriam Ann Ayers
« on: Saturday 13 September 14 02:24 BST (UK)  »
I don't know if anyone is still interested in this and I have made no advances except a further negative piece of evidence. 

Charles Thomas Bowden married Eleanor Frances Heasman in 1882.  In the marriage notice in the Geelong Advertiser on 30 May 1882, Charles was listed as the youngest son of John Henry Bowden of London. 

That has still moved me no closer to solving the puzzle but the "youngest" reference and the London location might contribute if any further records were uncovered.

Has anyone progressed any further?

I am attaching a photo from a newspaper from about 80 years ago. The quality is not good and there is a crease line across it.  Can such a photo be imporved?

I am amazed at the quality of those restorations and in awe at the ability of those doing them.  Is it possible to do anything with newspaper photos whose initial quality is not so good - such as the one I am attaching of my wife's father.

London and Middlesex / Re: Charles Thomas Bowden and Parents John Henry Bowden and Miriam Ann Ayres

Thanks,

Yes that is the chat I saw.  It reported that no one had been able to find records of the parents.  I have found potnetial parents but no link to Charles Thomas.  I was wondering if anyone had since then found any links.

London and Middlesex / Charles Thomas Bowden and Parents John Henry Bowden and Miriam Ann Ayres

I saw the chat from some years ago between gaynor50 and others and I didn't find out the result.

Amongst other details gaynor50 said

I am looking for parents of Charles Thomas Bowden who d. 1915 in Victoria Australia aged 59 years which would make his birth about 1856.  His death cert said he was born in London.
I found a birth cert in Bethenal Green Jun 1855 - 1c   263 for a Charles Thomas Bowden but I am not sure this is correct as I cannot locate any census's to cross match

Parents on death cert are:

John Henry Bowden and Miriam Ann Ayers

I have found a London birth record for Charles Thomas and Devon records for a John Henry Bowden and Miriam Ann Ayres but can see no child Charles Thomas and no connection to London.

Has anyone resolved this yet?

Thanks

Charles Thomas Bowden arrived in Victoria,Australia about 1880 and married Eleanor Frances Heasman m.1882
