Hello everyone, this is my very first message to this list. My interest is the Bowles family which emmigrated from Ireland originally to Quebec and then to various Ontario communities. I have found a record for a William Bowles in the 1871 Census of Artemesia, Grey South (that would be district 36 - G1) on page 36. He was born in Quebec so may be connected. My own direct line of Bowles were not far away just north east of Collingwood in Tiny twp., North Simcoe county. Hoping someone in this list has the local census records available, could someone look up this entry and let me know the family members, birth dates, places etc.? I have also found Bowles in the 1851 and 1881 census of Artemesia (I have these records, there were two Williams there in 1851) so the family was there for quite a while. I would be glad to hear from anyone interested in the Bowles name.
