I come from a large family of Bowies in Alves - Alexnder Watt and Elizabeth Jane - they had several children (many still alive and residing around Forres / Elgin / Nairn etc). He died in about 1979 aged 80 and she died in 1990 aged about 93. They resided in Sparrow Castle near Alves and he worked at Sweethillock Farm at one point. There are several Bowies buried in Alves cemetry - certainly I can recall Christina and Isabella being among them. It may not be relevant but I hope this helps. I still have some Alves connections and will ask about the name Wink next time... Good luck
