Hi Brian, My gg grandfather, William BOWE/BOUGH came to Rhode Island about 1860. He married Mary SWEENEY. Supposedly they came from the Malahide Castle area. Questions: ...Are there any BOWE families remaining in the 1901 Clontarf census? ...Is Malahide Road south of Dublin toward Malahide Castle? Thanks for the help, Charlie King gg grandson of William Bowe of Ireland I have indexed Clontarf for 1901. There is a Flanagan family at Crescent Place and a Sweeny family at 30 Malahide Road. Can give you details if required. Brian ________________________________________________________________________ Interested in getting caught up on today's news?

Hi Charlie, When I saw the name of Bowe, I thought of an incident that happened in my district in Nth Queensland about 40 years ago, a mystery that is still unsolved. A man by the name of James Bowe arrived here about 1920-30 and lived with a family in my district. He had confided to a few English families living in our farming area that he was really a brother/cousin/ of the late Queen Mother, formerly Lady Bowes-Lyon, the late mother of our present Queen Elizabeth 2, and because of a serious problem with the law in England, he was sent first to India and then to Australia. He was known as a remittance man, receiving a remittance from his parents in England so as not to cause any embarrassment to the Queens Mother and her family at that time. He eventually died around 1936 not sure of the date, but think I have a record here somewhere.He was buried in the district cemetery but the strange thing was, he had a beautiful tombstone placed on his grave, with his name shown as James Bowes-Lyon. There was a write up in the local paper when he died and he was known as James Bowe, an English Gentleman. Usually, no big write up was given to an ordinary worker and that was interesting, No one could tell us why his tombstone had a different name.. The reason I and my husband became interested, was because we used to visit the graves of my husbands grandmother and aunty and noticed this imposing looking grave stone and the name really caught my attention as we knew that was the same name of the late Queen Mother. . Then one day to our utmost surprise, the gravestone was smashed to pieces and the ground beneath seemed to have been disturbed. We never did find out why but we were suspicious that he may have been exhumed but to this day, we do not know and nobody I have asked seem to know the details. There were rumours that the family had a letter from the late Queen Mother after his death, thanking them for looking after him but we do not know whether to believe this rumour or not. So that is the mystery of a man called James Bowe, known as Jimmy to his friends and workmates. I thought you may be interested in this story as you are researching the name Bowe.
