Re Lewis/Bowcott Family

Yes according to the family tree given to me William Boolcotte bapt 25.4.1768 and Thomas Bowcott bapt. 10.12.1764 were brothers. Other siblings were:-

1. Richard Bowcott bapt. 8.7.1763;  John Bowcott Bapt. 27.10.1766; Easter Bowcot bapt. 11.1.1770 buried 17.2.1770.

 The earliest details on the tree are as below:-

Richard Bollcott (will made at Merthyr Cynog - 14th Jan 1757 and proved 20th May 1757. The will mentions two sons William and John (and poss grandsons also mentioned)
The  son William had a son  named Richard as did the son named John whose son was also called Richard. The next generation is also called Richard but it is not clear whether he is the son of William or Richard.
The last named Richard (the father of Richard; William; John; Thomas and Easter) made a will 16.12.1810 which was proved 22.2.1812. This will mentions marriage settlement with first wife MARY JONES  dated 30.6.1762. then Merthyr Cynog. 8.12.1772 Richard Bowcott widower married Gwenllian Morgan.
My apologies for lack of clarity but the tree is a bit difficult to follow.  If I can be of any further help please do not hesitate to ask

Hi Oliviv & Mev

I am so grateful for the filling in of blanks on my tree. Great to see that we are distant relations too, Mev. I see that you are both able to get copies of wills. I have tried but it would appear that because I just live over the border in Shropshire I can't order them from The National Library of Wales on-line. Is this the case or am I just a bit dense? I blame the drugs! Is there another way I can order documents?

If either of you are interested then you can follow the branch of Thomas (b 1764) at

If you find it useful and would like access to those born after 1907 or still alive email me & I will let you have the necessary passwords.

Thanks to you both

Dave

Hi Oliviv

Can I impose again please. Do you have any details of the other Richard (uncle to my William). Did he marry and have any children? I would like to try and work out which Richard is son of William and which is son of John if possible so any info you have on both of them could be useful.
Many thanks
Mev

Bowcott
Sorry I am not able to give you info on Richard - the Richard Bowcott, your William's father, is shown on the tree as being  EITHER the son of Richard (a son of William Bollcott and therefore a grandson of William  Bollcott
OR
the son of Richard (John Bollcot's son) and therefore a grandson of John Bollcott
The tree may also be interpretated that Richard was the son of William or John Bollcott as there is a ?? by the entry - OR it may be that this Richard was a grandson of the original Richard Bollcott who made a will 14.1.1757 (the dates may help you to solve the riddle) If he was the grandson of the original Richard Bollcott his father would have been William or John Bollcott.
This is quite difficult to explain so I hope I am not confusing  things for you.
THOMAS BOWCOTT  born circa 1813/4 Died 10.5.1875 on thre tree marries a Jane with a ?? mark.
I see they have offsprings
Mary Ann Bowcott b. Sept. 1850 and
Jane Bowcott b. circa 1854.
All for now. I was unable to open your family tree - the computer is too old and I am too old and I am not on Broadband

Hi Olviv

Thank you so much for all your help.
I did find the marriage for Thomas(1813-1875) to a Jane Jenkins. 
Does your tree have a James Bowcott born c1761 not sure where as he is shown on 1841 census only living at Nantymynach in Gwenddwr.
The link to my tree has to be done to an email address but is quiet easy to access and use if you contact me direct I can do it for you if you would like. It doesn't need broadband or anything fancy (I'm no spring chicken either).
Best wishes

Hello again
I don't know if you are still researching the Bowcott family tree but the other day while looking at a list of Memorial Inscriptions for Ebenezer Chapel, Upper Chapel (in the parish of Merthyr Cynog)  I noticed the following inscription
Sacred to the Memory of James Bowcott
of Nantymynach in the Parish of Gwenddwr
Who died June 24, 1851. Aged 95 years.
I have no idea why he was buried at Ebenezer
