We have a spreadsheet of over 4500 Irish records and a facebook page that's quite active (that cover all Bowe and Bowes worldwide https://www.facebook.com/bowesonenamestudy). On that spreadsheet I find the following for the area discussed here. Keep in mind that parish records survived for different years in different parishes, and those years often varying within a parish between birth, marriage and death, so there are a lot of gaps. These are spelled as recorded: 1855 Richard Bow, Ballyconnery, Kilgobnet, Waterford (listed in 'Information Wanted' The Boston Pilot newspaper online http://infowanted.bc.edu/record/?recid=16885) 1836 James Bowe, Ballyconnery, Kilgbnet, Waterford (Tithe Aplotment Books) 1849 (abt) James Bowe, Ballyconnery, Kilgobnet, Waterford (Griffith's Valuation) 1860 Thomas Bowe, Kilgobinet, Waterford baptised son of Thomas Bowe and Johanna Hickey (Thomas Power and Catherine Hickey witnesses) 1871 Thomas Bowe, Kilgobinet, Waterford baptised son of James Bowe and Margaret Mullowney (Richard Bowe [if same Richard as above then never emigrated or returned to Ireland] and Margaret Mulloney witnesses) I'm also working on a family tree database to store the Irish Bowe/s trees. It looks like maybe we can get a pretty good one together here given these records and family history? Local gravestones might helps with some earlier connections? Brendan would it interest you to help provide and reconstruct this family's tree as best we can? Martha Bowes Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
