Hi Listers Many thanks to Brian, Randi and Peter, for all the info. Brian has found her marriage to William Stroud Bowles in the March quarter of 1877 which is wonderful. Emily Allen was my GGGrandfather's sister. I would now like to trace her children Clara & William forward if possible. If you think I can be of help to any of you I am more than happy to do so. I will take your advice and buy a Lotto ticket Brian. Cheers. Val from Christchurch NZ.
