Hello,

There is a death recorded for a Catherine Bowe in London in 1860, I've recently requested a copy cert to see if it will provide a maiden name or informat details to link to George Bowe.
I would love to see a photo of GP Bowe, his brother CW Bowe was my GG grandfather.

Cheers

Hello David,

Charles William is my ancestor but I haven't done much work on the family tree for some time now, but I still want to find out what the family was doing in South America between 1828 and 1830 and what brought them back to the UK and to the North East of England in particular.

I think George and Margaret were married at St Nicholas Cathedral in Newcastle, there is a website that tells you a lot about the history of the church.

Hi, I found George Bowe in the 1841 census, Borough of Newcastle Upon Tyne, Parish of St John on Westgate Street, he has three brothers listed, Charles, Joseph and William and one sister Elizabeth. Their father George was married to Catherine (Hunter) at St Hilda's church in South Shields.
Charles Bowe is my great great grandfather, he was also born in South America (Province of Minas Briarie??) and can be found in all subsequent census records up till his death in 1892, I had wondered why George disappeared from the census records but emigration to Oz appears to answer that one.
The family appears to have spent some time working in South America before returning to the UK sometime before the 1841 census. They then split their time between between Newcastle and London.
George senior is listed in the 1851 census (age49), along with son Joseph (age 15 plasterer), at Park Place in St Andrews in Newcastle as a "house carpenter" it records his place of birth as "London, Middlesex".
1861 shows no trace of either George senior or junior but shows Joseph (age 25 plasterer) in St Paul's Greenwich (London) married to Lucy with daughters Charlotte and Lucy.
Charles Bowe is found in 1861 at Low Teams in Gateshead, married to Mary Ann (Stephenson) with sons Charles George and William.
