Could they be descended from - John BOWERS born c.1817, Stockport, Cheshire, England son of James BOWERS married 17 June 1838 Cheshire to Mary Ann SALE b.c1818 At some time John and Mary moved from Cheshire to nearby Lancashire where they lived around the Salford/ Pendleton area. One of their children Mary Ann BOWERS married Joseph ROYLE and migrated to Australia and later to New Zealand Perhaps others moved to the USA and other countries. Love to hear from anyone who thinks they might have a connection. Mary Thit, Melbourne, Australia [email protected] ==== BOWER Mailing List ==== Need to reach Colleen, the discussion coordinator?
