of Lechlade, Gloucester)

unnamed female Bowles b. July 10,

Simmons 1793 (Marriage Licenses of Ferns Diocese, vol. 7a, p. 176)
4. John Bowles 1 (farming
near Camross in 1798; witnessed barn burning at Scullabogue that
year)
(a John Bowles 2 died in Wexford in
1867 at age 80 (4/781) but that would have made him only 11 in 1798,
too young to be John Bowles 1; John Bowles 2 could have been the son
of James 1, Thomas 2 or John 1)
John Bowles 3 b. ~ 1837
m. Margaret Fitzhenry
Lawrence Bowles b. Nov. 11, 1864
Carrickbyrne, co. Wexford
Both Lawrence and John d. 1866
(epidemic?)
(A John Bowles died in Wexford in
1866 at age 29 (4/620). He would have probably been the son of
William Bowles, James Bowles 2, Thomas Bowles 2 or John Bowles 2.
A Lawrence Bowles son of John Bowles died in 1866 in New Ross 4/619.
They are just one page apart in the 1866 Civil Registry of Deaths.)
Another John C. Bowles is
documented in Farquahar's The History of the Bowles Family as:
Thomas Bowles b. 1824 co. Wexford
m. ?
1. Margaret
2. Elizabeth
3. Nellie
4. Bridget
5. Mary
6. John C. Bowles b. Dec. 20,
1848 Wexford
m. Annie Douglass (b. Wicklow)
(John and his family emigrated to
Omaha, Nebraska where he was a blacksmith)
6.1 Mary Ann
6.2 Thomas
6.3 Julia
6.4 Margaret
6.5 Michael
6.6 John
6.7 Nellie
6.8 William
6.9 Catherine
Thomas and his wife went to England
in 1851
Thomas' wife d. 1867 Cleator,
Cumberland, England
Thomas d. ~ 1874 Cleator,
Cumberland, England
This John doesn't have to be from
this Camross line but the given names used in the family make it
likely that he fits in here.
A Martha Bowles of Wexford (b. Mar.
1854), likely from this line, married a Michael o'Brien and
emigrated to Canada.
