Hi list members, I have hit a brick wall and was wondering if anyone might be able to help. I will explain as best as I can, but without much information, I might not find any help. My Grandmother was Elizabeth Bowles?? Spelling of last name is uncertain, but she was born about 1897, and her father was Robert Bowles and mother was either Costley or Costello first name unknown. All the information that I know is that Robert had a shoe repair business for a time before leaving for Manchester England. Sorry to say I cant get exact spellings of last names as my Uncle cant read or write so any record would be a guess with him being informant. There were 4 other childern to Robert and his wife, a Nellie, Bella, Johnny, and Robert. I just dont know where to find anything to help me. I am hoping maybe someone on the list might find something to help me. I'm totally out of ideas. Really sorry not much to go on here. If anyone has Ideas to help, let me know. Happy New Year to all Sharon
