Subject: re Emily Bowles born 1856 Poplar London
Date: Tue, 11 Jan 2005 17:36:56 +1300


Dear List,
I am looking for the marriage of Emily Allen to ?? Bowles, she was married to a Bowles, She had two children
Clara aged 9 in the 1891 census born in Poplar London
William aged 7 in the 1891 census born West Ham. London
They were all at her parents the day of the census at
112 Bridge Road Grays Thurrock ESSEX. her parents were
Robert Allen father Jane Allen mother.
Emily Bowles was drowned on the 14th Oct. 1898 when the ship Moyhan was wrecked off the Cornwall Coast, she was a stewardess on board that ship, I think her husband may have been a Captain of a ship or worked on a ship at some time as he was never in any of the census's with their family, her sister was Elizabeth Morgan (nee Allen) who was alway with her parents with her son George at census time so think he was at sea also, as I have been told there was a Ship's Captain in the family but I don't know who he was.
After Emily was drowned her children were with Elizabeth Morgan her sister in the 1901 census, still no husbands.
Would love to hear from any lister who has any connection with Emily or can perhaps help in some way, very willing to exchange info also.
Regards
Val Mably Christchurch New Zealand.
