Ernest Bowthorpe

[avm228]

Mary Ann GOOK died aged 54 in Norwich, Dec qtr 1905.  She was living with William Bowthorpe by 1891.

William’s wife Julia Bowthorpe had died aged 35 in Norwich, Dec qtr 1885.

Mary Ann Gook b c1853 died Norwich 1905, She was housekeeper to William Bowthorpe in 1891 as well. She listed as single, William a widower. Not sure why they didn't marry,

[avm228]

Her husband seems to have been David Gook (marr Mary Ann Caroline Dobson, Jun qtr 1874 Norwich).

Birth reg for their son Francis Clarke Gook, mmn Dobson, Sep qtr 1877 Norwich.

Also David Gook, mmn Dobson, Sep qtr 1874 Norwich so perhaps they married in a hurry and it didn’t last.

Many thanks for all replies. Ernest had to have been born before his mother died in 1835 if my informant is correct!  Yes he was connected to my original posting about Thomas Bowthorpe who turned out to be William!  Have looked for Ernest under different name but am unable to find anything!  He will probably turn up one day!

Can anybody help me to find birth of Ernest Bowthorpe. Born in Norfolk circa 1884/5. Thank you

How could Ernest have been born in 1884/5 if his mother dies 1835  I presume this was a typo.

It would help if you could post the details as to where you have found Ernest i.e marriage record to Florence or a census please. Equally who do you have as his mother?

Sorry yes was a typo!! Should have checked! I am doing some research for my friend and his grandmother gave him all the details about the Bowthorpes. However Thomas turned out to be William so Ernest could be wrong.  I found a marriage for Ernest to Florence in nIreland and a death of an Ernest Bowthorpe in WW1 which I think is him. Florence married againa couple of years later. Thats all I know so far.
Th story was that Julia died of pneumonia after getting up soon after childbirth to admonish the other children who were quarrelling.

Thanks for all help on Ernest Bowthorpe. Unfortunately, I don't think any of them fit. He did marry Florence and I think he was killed in the war. His mother died in about 1886 not long after he was born. His father was William and he had a brother  Charles and a brother William. Frustratingly I cannot find his birth!

Could this be the births of 'Ernest', Charles and William? -

All have mother's maiden name as Howard.

Could 'Ernest' have been Thomas Edward Bowthorpe?

In 1891 the above Thomas is living with his Howard grandparents.
