Recently a friend told be about a nun buried in Tunnack in central Tasmania. Her name was Sister Vincent Bowler. She was born Margaret Bowler in Co. Kerry in Ireland in November 1861. Her parents were Patrick Bowler, a farmer, and Deborah Brosnohan. At some stage she migrated with her parents to New Zealand. For some reason she moved to Tasmania and entered the Sisters of St Joseph at Westbury on 25 May, 1888; she was 27. I found a quite graphic description of her religious profession in The New Zealand Tablet (18 July 1890, page 3). She was the first Josephite nun to be professed in Tasmania and taught in a small school in the small isolated Midlands town. She received high commendation from the school inspector when he visited. She died on 9 December 1919; she was buried at Tunnack in St Brigid's Cemetery. Can our Rootsweb sleuths discover more about her before she left for Australia or other members of her family? Thanks Paddy
