Did You Know?

  • The Durham Chronicle of 16 February 1844 reported the death on '7th, Mrs Mary Bowhill, of Millfield, aged 44', but the death certificate describes her as a 'Singlewoman'.
  • An Ann Spithray was the informant on the death certificates of both Mary Bowhill in 1844 and John Smith Bowhill in 1848. I suspect this was Ann Bowhills, who had married John Spitrey in 1838, and that she was the illegitimate daughter of Mary and the granddaughter of John.
