Bowmen/bowman what?

[Stanwix England]

Hi,

I'm looking at an 1841 census location.

I think it says Bowmen or bowman but I can't make out the second word. I think the second word starts with an R. Is it range?

Bowmans, Kent?

Only thing I could find in a Gazetter that looked anything similar.

This is the enumerators description:
So I'd say its Bowman's  * but can't make out the second word.
I looked through the same area in 1851 and it doesn't appear at all, either in the description or if I page through.

If it helps, FindMyPast have transcribed it as Bowman's Row.

Thank you both so much, I really appreciate your help and kindness.

With other rootschatters I've also searched for the reference to Bowman of/near Finkle Lane, Workington.  I noted there was a Bowman farm in the area together with a large Bowman house, etc.

What I've found is that the family name of a place, such as a "Yard" or "Farm" is often referred to long after the person has retired/died.

For instance my ancestor lived in "Willis's Passage", as an apprentice to a man with the surname of "Blake".     

A couple of decades later it was known as "Blakes Passage". until the area was modernised. 





Quite often it helps to look at the collection of historical Directories, free to view on the Leicester University website:-

Bowman's Place?

Could it be Bowman's Lane?

 I have two instances of Registrar's using a very flowery capital L that looks like the letter R- it took me ages to find my brother's birth registration as even on the GRO index his surname is under 'R' instead of 'L'.

I suggest you surf for "Old Maps" to see what was at the end of Finkle Street.  I tried to view maps but my eyesight isn't up to it.

I did look in the old directories but as there isn't one available for the year of the census it wasn't  fruitful, although I did see the surname Bowman was listed in several  Cumbrian towns
