My great great grandfather was William and his father was John Bowe. William and his twin brother Richard were born in 1810 and were sent to Australia as convicts in 1832. So assuming John was born around 1790's If you have any information on John Bowe that would be great. We think he married Margret Walsh from Freshford in the County of Killkenny.
