Hi Listers, My BOWERS line originated around Stockport, Cheshire. >From there the family moved to nearby Lancashire. Later my gr.grandmother Mary Ann BOWERS and her husband Joseph ROYLE migrated to Australia and after many years moved to New Zealand with their daughter Elizabeth ROYLE and son-in-law Carl OLSSON I do not think that I have found all the children of John BOWERS and Mary Ann SALE yet. I think there could be at least one son and perhaps other children. Some of these may have migrated to America or other countries.
