Edward and
Susan Bowles emigrated from England to Canada in 1882 with their son
Richard and his family and settled in Toronto. Their son
William joined them in 1884, son Edward followed with his wife
Hannah and 7 children in 1887 and also settled in Toronto where
another child was born in 1888 and son Thomas and wife Fanny were
probably the last members of the family to arrive in 1890.
