Hi I am also researching Bowles in Great Yarmouth. If you go to www.norfolkpubs.co.uk/gtyarmouth/gyb/gybas.htm you will find several inns and pubs owned by Yarmouth Bowles family including a Thomas and Mary Bowles and a Johnathon Bowles. There are other links from this site as well. I have a brick wall in searching for my Richard Bowles(b181 who married Diana SmithBowles (b:1809) and had 2 children, William(b1845 in france ) and George Bowles (b1854). If you come across these people in your searches, I would be pleased to hear from you.

My grandmother was a Bowles originating in the Yarmouth area of England back in the early 1900's. I am currently researching her family (along with many others) and have come to a 'brick wall'. I have managed to get back to Edward Bowles bn around 1730 married to Elizabeth Edwards. Their children were Thomas, Susannah, Edward and Deborah. Thomas bn 1760 then went on to marry Mary Fleming and had children Elizabeth, Edward, Mary, Thomas, Sarah, Samuel, William, Jonathan. Jonathan bn 1803 married Sarah Greensides and they had a son Jonathan bn 1833 who then married Julia Agnes Ninham. I hope that some (or all) of this may strike a chord with someone - any information or leads you could give me would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for your patience! Sharon
