Hi Cara, Thanks for the 'Bowe note'. I appreciate your help on finding members of Irish Bowe/Bow families of Ireland. Charlie King ggg grandson of John/Johanna Bowe b. Ireland about 1800 gg grandson of William Bowe b. Ireland about 1825 Cara wrote: 25/4/1893 Mother mary Seraphine ( Bowe) the Abbess of the first irish foundation accompanied by Mother Angela ( Tait) Vicaress left the convent in Manchester arriving in Drogheda on the 26th April 1893. If this piece of information is of interest to any Bowe researcher feel free to send me a mail requesting the rest of the story.
