Hi, I'm looking for information about James Lyle Bowers :)

Hi I just found this site. Have been doing Genealogy since 1994 and have completed several pages for my side of the family back to the 1600's. My husband "Bowers" family I can trace back to his Grandfather JT Bowers. But can go no further. My husbands parents were divorced in 1965 and his Mother moved the kids out to California. I am now trying to reconnect to get the information on the Bowers Family. We visited William Bowers and his wife Faye in 1981. They lived in Camden. We visted his Aunt Mary's house and his Uncle Clarence was there too. In search of the family tree.

I am Michele (Bowers) Marcum. Looking for my biological grandfather, Thomas Jefferson Bowers of Nelsonville, OH. I believe he was a doctor with a practice in Columbus, Ohio. My father and grandmother were estranged from him. My grandmother, Zola Palmer Bowers, did not offer much information before her death. My father, Thomas Palmer Bowers, is reticent to look into family history but I am very interested. Any information will be helpful.

I'm looking for any info on Frederick bowers.he was born in Wales in 1890 died in burnley lancashire 1956.he is my great garandfather and would like to know more about him.

Caleb was born 1830 in Habersham Co., GA. His mother was Lucinda GRIFFETH of the Pickens Co., GA GRIFFETHs whose sister married Col. Sam TATE who, along with the GRIFFETHs started the big marble business in Georgia.

I am looking for the parents and siblings of Wallace C. Bowers. He was born in Tennesee. He had a sister named Estelle. I know he was working and present in Cook County Illinois in 1930 and listed himself as married. He married my grandmother (Helga) and had two children, Wallace Carl Bowers, Jr. and Bonnie or Bonita Estelle Bowers (my mother). The family moved to Tennesee and stayed there for 4-5 years sometime in 1948 when my mother was an infant.

I am trying to locate information for my Aunt on her Family. Her father was Herman F. Bowers from Milwaukee, WI. He died in 1948 in Aurora, IL. He had several brothers (Abe, Ed, Bill, Gyp, and an unknown brother) and sisters (Eddy, Ella, and Della). I do not know who his father or mother were. Most of the relatives stayed in Wisconsin but one brother moved to Michigan. Any assistance is appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeff

After many years of looking for George's father, I have found the 1880 Indiana census misspelled the family name. It looks clear to me but they spelled it Brower and he used William instead of James. I am not sure if he is James William or William James Bower. I do have marriage and birth certificates that say James W. Bower was married to Phebe Jarvis in 1874. I would like any other information anyone has on this family prior to 1880.

Hi namesakes the world over.

Im Chris Bowers 25 living in Manchester (England) I'm looking to find any Bowers that attended a family reunion in 2000 at the G.H Carnall Leisure Center. Im in the process of tracing my family back and at the moment have little information. I think my Grandad Stanley Bowers originally came from Matlock in Derbyshire if that helps.

Keep it Bowers,

Chris

I am looking for any information regarding the Bowers family in Philadelphia, PA, especially death information. The only info I have are the 1900, 1910, and 1920 PA census. I would especially like information before 1900, and any immigration records. William Bowers was born about 1857-60 in Germany, immigrated to the US around 1883. His wife Elizabeth (Kramer)born in Germany about 1876, and immigrated to the US around 1885. William and Elizabeth married in the US, I believe. They had 5 children...William Jr., Wilhelmina (Minnie), Joseph, Margaret, and Elizabeth.

Hi my name is Philisa Bowers. I am in search for my grandfather I think his name might be CONSTANTINE BOWERS. I was told that he know about my father MATHIAS PHILIOUS BOWERS. My grandfather my meet grandmother in the Commonwealth of Dominica his might have been working as a military office or police office in DOMINICA (PORTHMOUTH). I have been told that he might be in Canada, or England.

We have been stuck for years trying to find the right Jacob Bowers (1825-1891) and his parents. Jacob was married to Susanna(h) Manton and they had 4 children: Cyrus M Bowers (1871-1954), James Thomas Bowers(1874-1946), Frances May Bowers(1879-1965) and a Stillborn. All were born in Summit,Ohio.
According to the 1880 Cenus Jacob's Dad is from Ohio and his parents are from PA. We Know that Susanna is from England as well as her parents. We have not found out his parents name or where he was born. Any help with this bump in the road will be a big help.

I am searching for william J. Bowers of New York. He was born around 1830 as I have one of his sons, William Dover Dwight Bowers, born 1858.
William J. Bowers was married to Julia. They had a son (more?) named William Dover Dwight (1858) who married Nettie Patch (1861). They had 1) UNKOWN, 2) Charles Cleveland***(1885), 3) Bert Otis (1890), 4) Ray (1893), 5) Edith (1897), and 6) Mabel (1900)

I did a little site maintenance this evening. I combined the "Guest Book" entries into the main Bowers Forum. I decided there was no real need to split the two, so you might see OLD entries which look like they were just recently posted... They were just moved over to simply things.

Enjoy,

Hi I am Pierre Le Bas born and lived in NZ till two years ago. I am now living on a Narrowboat in the UK. In the last ten years I have traced back my "Le Bas" family to 1400 from France through Jersey to NZ. Now I am trying to branch out to my Father's female side and my mothers both sides. One of my mothers side goes back to my Great Great Grandmother Selby Bowers born in Hale Surrey in 1857. Her Parents were Walker Bowers born Haslemere Surrey and Maria born Chiddingford Surrey. I have the 1871 cencus that tells me of all the family living in Walkers household on that day.

Looking for anyone that knows William Marshall Bowers. He was my Grandfather. Would like to learn more about him.
