Unfortunately unable to help with Joan's maiden name. Our interest in the family stems from a grandfather clock we purchased several years ago. The name on the dial reads JS BOWEN (which we assume is JAMES) of ALFRETON and inside the clock the retailers trade label of DAVID BOWEN of ALFRETON. At the time of purchase we assumed they were related but so far have been unable to make a connection with the two names. So we are left with a mystery! The clock is all original and the dial unrestored. We also know all the provenance of the clock from leaving ALFRETON early in the 1900's.

Hello Pat, The information we have about David Bowen's marriages are as follows:- First wife Sarah PALETHORPE died 2/10/1857 and David's second wife was also called Sarah (surname unknown) who died 2/5/1872 she was from Stamford, Lincolnshire. She is named on the headstone (along with 1st wife and David) which is in St. Martins burial ground ALFRETON. We didn't know about Dinah and wondered whether she could have been David's 3rd wife?

Hello Pat, Came across your posting while browsing the web. A good few years ago my husband and I did quite a bit of research regarding David Bowen (Clock and Watch Maker) and his family (before the days of web sites) and acquired quite a lot of information and copies of b/m/d certificates etc. I don't know how much further on you have got in the past year since your posting? but we would be very pleased to share with you the information we have found and would be grateful if you could help us with some of the gaps we have in our research. Kind regards, Susan and David
