Did You Know?
- 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.
