Hi Fran
I too am looking into my Bowes family history. Thank you everyone for all the information I have found out already about my family. I am the great granddaughter of Timothy and Clare (Condron) Bowes (m 17/4/1910) who lived in Golden Lane in 1911. They had a son, Richard who was my grandfather - a painter/decorator who worked for the Dublin Corporation. I believe he had brothers Patrick and Timothy and a sister Linda. Richard married Margaret (Mills) and they had a daughter Clare, who was my mother and then a further 9 children. My mother moved to England in the 1950's as did two of her brothers and a sister.
Does anyone know of a Titanic connection with the family? One of my aunts said that her father (Richard) took her to the cinema to see the film some time in the 1950's. He told her that one of his cousins had been on the Titanic. I have looked up the crew/passenger list but can't find a family name I recognize.
