Have you checked under the 'Surname Interests' table at http://www.rootschat.com/surname/ ?

The Calder you have mentioned emigrating to Canada , by any chance was he married to a Catherine Kirkaldie.

Anne, which Bowman line are you researching?

My father's family (quite a few of them actually) came from Kirriemuir to Adelaide in 1849.

jobarnes,

Just looked at the dates on this thread and I think it might be up to us now to continue.  It's been a long time since the original post.

My Bowman line came from Kirriemuir and there are mentions of Cortachy and Clova as well.

Which Bowman line are you chasing?  My John Bowman was the son of John Bowman and Agnes Eaton and his first wife was Barbara Tosh, second wife Betty (or Betsy) Duncan.

Seems to me that it was not an uncommon name in Scotland, but I might be wrong.

Would love to hear from you if you think there are any chances of a connection.
