Hi Adele, Happy St Pat's Day to you as well and to all the Irish out there. Several years ago we corresponded in relation to the BOWLES/TAYLOR connection and it was interesting to see the reference arise once again. I have the TAYLOR/WACKROW connection in my tree as well, of course. Caroline was the daughter of my Great Great Grandfather, Frederick Benjamin TAYLOR,s sister Mary Ann TAYLOR and is listed as my cousin 3 times removed Whereas the Bowles moved from TAWA to the Waiarapa my lot moved up the coast to Foxton and from there north to the Waikato in later generations.
