researching Bowns/Sabin family of Blaby

[coral 1]

Hi, I am looking for the parents or any relations of John Bowns abt. 1831 could be a Richard Bowns.
Also the parents or any relations of William Sabin born about 1861, who married an Emma nee Bowns.

Hi Coral 1,

Welcome to Rootschat   

I see William Sabin was born in Luton, Bedfordshire according to 1891 and Warwick according to 1901.

This is the one match I can see in 1861:
RG9/2225 69 19
Warwick, Warwickshire
Mary Ridgett?, head, wid, 62, Laundress, b. Warwick St Mary's
Sarah Sabin, lodger, wid, 35, Straw Bonnet Maker, b. do
William Sabin, boarder, 1, b. Bedfordshire Luton
John Bull, boarder, unm, 62, Labourer, b. Warwickshire Gaydon

The IGI at www.familysearch.org has a christening at Luton:

WILLIAM SABIN 
Christening 6 January 1861   Saint Mary, Luton, Bedford
Father Thomas Sabin, mother Sarah

No other christenings for this couple in the same batch, unfortunately.

John Bowns:

It seems the earlier spelling of his name was Bounds - that's the way I can see it in 1871, 1861 and
1851
HO107/2081 189 20
Blaby, Leicestershire
Chapel Street
Richard Bounds, head, 55, F.W.K*, b. Blaby
Elizth, wife, 56, ditto, b. do.
Jno, son, mar, 20, ditto, b. do.
Eliza, son's wife, mar, 19, ditto, b. do.

F.W.K. stands for Frame Work Knitter, I believe.

Have a look on the IGI for them (surname Bowns) - You will find the children's christenings.

Also the marriage of Richard Bowns to Elizabeth Norton on 7 November 1814 at Blaby.

Thankyou for all your help. At last I am getting somewhere.
William Sabin is my Gt Grandfather. I know he was born in 1861 thats in the family bible, so the age fits.
So his mothers name was Sarah now all i need is his fathers name.
Once again thanks

Once again thanks for the help with the bowns side of my family. You are right about the Frame work Knitter. The whole family is littered with these and Griswold stocking knitters.
