Hi Michelle,I'm looking for 2 lots of Bowers(trying to work to the middle to see where the connection is).1st is James Bowers B:1838 not sure where!He married Agnus Scott B:1849,they married in Tasmania,Australia in 1869.Thanks for offering your wonderful services. 2nd is a bit tricky too.Alexander Bowers(master seaman,married Emily Webb in Singapore,17th 1877.Alexander died 1886-87.They had a son Henry in Greenock B:1884 D:1912. I think they may have 2daughters aswell,possibly May E &Edith M J. IWas told maybe mis-transcribed as Bowes.Not sure if this is correct as only info I have.Thankyou for helping

22,Vere St,Clare Market, London , this may be him,
I have tried IGI no luck,
Many thanks Chas

Thanks Michelle
I think it might be a possibility. William was with the family in 1861 in the village of Burnage, Manchester who have their own website and a list of census names for 1861. William's father was on the list so I contacted the web site and they sent me a list of all the family members in 1861 one of which was the son William. No mention of wife etc. The only other possibility is he died or emigrated but I have looked with no success. I will look at your findings in more detail and see if I can find any other links to all the names. Thank you so much for all your time.

Hi Michelle
I would be gratefull if you could help with my little mystery???
My grandfather apparently had three brothers, that no one in the family have any recollections of ??
would you be kind enough to check the 1891/1901BMD's..details i have as follows:
parents. George Munro(e) 05/07/1858 Aberdeen & Sarah Callahan 1858 London (East) .Married 14/06/1875St.Geo in the East London. (1881census has them at 12Martha St.E14)..The sons of George are as follows:
William Munro(e) c1876, James Munro(e) c1879 & Joseph Munro(e)c1883.
I have looked at the Commonwealth war graves and found a John Joseph Munro(e)age 32 died 11/03/1915.. born 1883, husband of Adelaide Emily Munro(e) of 128 Kerby St. Poplar London E14.
This was a street i remember my mother living in around the 1940's?????
I would be very gratefull if you could shed any light on D/Birth's etc.

Thanking you

Hi Michelle.
Any help would be great with the following family please.
This is all the info I have at present.
Winifred Thomas born 24/ 8/ 1896 at cardiff married Hugh owen Thomas in dec 1815 at neath.
Its Winifred and her family I'm trying to trace.
Her parents were Idris Thomas possibly from Tonyrefail Wales and Rose possibly thomas? from Cardiff wales. Their children were Winifred Thomas as above, Violet Thomas, Hilda May Thomas and a boy Glyndwr Thomas. I think this is the correct order they were born. I know Idris Thomas was employed as a coachman in Cardiff by Chivers the Jam people and that his parents were from Tonyrefail town called Pant y Brad. Idris and Rose split up while living in Tonyrefail and Rose lived for some time at Margam Terrace in Port Talbot, West Glamorgan, Wales.
I didn't realise till now how little I really have on them if you could find anything at all birth dates of the children or Idris and Rose's marriage date or on the census in 1901 I would be really gratefull.
Many thanks Brenda.
