Did You Know?

• According to George Bowhill's death certificate he was born in Kelso, and his parents were 'Thomas Bowhill Gardener Margaret Bowhill maiden name Wallace (both dead)'. There was a Thos Bowhill Gardener buried in Kelso in 1798, but given the apparent mistake in George's mother's name I think it's more likely that his parents were the individuals buried in 1808 and 1819 in Bishopwearmouth as the ages at burial are consistent with their baptisms.
