Thank you for your message.
I have created profiles on WikiTree re the Bowles family.
https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Bowles-4690
The DNA connection on the right hand side of the Bowles profiles will be of interest to you.

New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: BOWLES and GOLDSMITH of Waimate South **Completed**

Hi Koromo
I am researching this tree for a New Zealand descendant.
On an earlier post you commented -
“I believe a younger brother Willie [Goldsmith] Bowles was similarly adopted, all this before legal adoption procedures were in place in NZ.”
New Zealand Births, Marriages & Deaths Online have his birth registered -
1866/21691 Bowles Willie Goldsmith to parents Elizabeth and John
I have not ordered his birth certificate however I would presume if his birth was registered to Elizabeth and John that he would in fact be their child?
Can you or anyone else confirm where he was born please. Researchers on Ancestry have him born in different locations i.e Waituna (as stated in his obituary), Waimate and Timaru.
My third great grandmother’s first husband was a Deal boatman from Walmer who sailed from Gravesend London on board the “Whitby’, preliminary voyage to Nelson New Zealand in 1841.
She arrived with her two surviving children, having lost her two youngest on the voyage, only to discover that her husband John Barnes had high tailed it back to England on the "Arrow" via China.
Mary met a man who had sailed out with her first husband. This man’s wife and two daughters, for unknown reasons had not boarded the Lloyds as planned.
It is all so very interesting.
