Did You Know?
- One of the witnesses at Margaret Bowhill's wedding in 1860 was a Charles Gibson. Gibson was the maiden name of Margaret's mother, Mary Gibson.
- Mary Gibson was listed as a widow in the 1861 and 1871 censuses; her husband George James Bowhill was described as a widower when he married Elizabeth Bernardes in 1868. I presume their relationship had broken down sometime in the mid-1850s, which was when Mary's son Richard Bowhill was born.
- A photo on Ancestry has written on the back 'Jack Bowhill half Brother to Helen Snowdon who married Thomas Gettins 1880'. I have no idea if this was written by someone contemporary or later, but one of the witnesses at the wedding was a Gibson, the maiden name of Mary Gibson mother of John Bowhill and Eleanor Bowhill.
