I have seen this before, but the dates and names never coincided with
anything I knew, or found. This said 1832, the Census says 1835, and
married to Lydia. Both of them may have other marriages, but who knows
without proof. Did they marry in Canada? Did they marry in England or
Ireland? I have not found anything in the online PEI/NB marriage records.
There were actually quite a few Bowes moved into the Maritimes in
these years...Scotch, Irish, and English (Lyons). And the names Thomas,
John, Edward, William were used by ALL of them.
I have searched all the connections I have ever found online, over the
years, to Bowes' in Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Ottawa, Toronto,
Pennsylvania, Massachusetts (Worcester), NC, and have never found a
connection to any of them.
My little tribe of Bowes' seemed invisible, and quietly made their
way through the New World. For the longest time I thought they were
hiding something, like crimes or such, even finding a murder in Canada
(NS If I remember correctly) by a T. Bowes, but the Police found that to
be an alias.
Anything is possible at the moment, but I think there is no connection
here.....
A Ship's Record would be very helpful, but I have never found one.
Unless something I don't know about shows up here for North America, my
concentration may turn towards Ireland and the UK. I of course, do not
know my way around all the intricacies of Recorded Genealogy. I am only
able to do Web Searches...if it's on the Web, for North America, I have
probably seen it. When it comes to Great Britain, I am
useless....there's too much there for my hit and miss searches...I must
depend on the skills of others.
