Honor ===================================== ===================================================================== Match: Bowles Source: SUFFOLK-L@rootsweb.com From: "Steve Barber" Subject: BOWLES KENT/KIPPON and SKIPPON Family Having seen the earlier posting to this list, I am responding to say that I have a lot of information on Bowles Kent, and his family. His sister married into the Kippon/Skippon family of Wetheringsett and there was also a BOWLES SKIPPON. I'd be pleased to hear from anyone else with an interest in either the KENT or SKIPPON/SKIPPEN/SKIPPINGS families. Regards, Steve Those two postings appeared in the 2 March 05 PML, so I wrote to Steve to ask if he had more information about the origin of the first names of these ancestors. He replied with the following note... Linne I'm sorry, I haven't been able to trace the origin of the christian name, but below is the full list of it's occurrence within my research. I have no problem with you forwarding details to the Bowles list (as these are all long gone!). If any of your contacts finds a connection, I'd be really grateful to hear from them.
