My great great grandmother, Susan BAILEY, was born in 1837 in Simon's Town. She married Thomas BOWMAN on 22 September 1860 at St Francis Anglican Church in Simon's Town. Thomas was born around 1834 in Scotland. Thomas and Susan had 10 children - all born in Simon's Town from 1861 until 1882. Susan died on 7 July 1910 at Mossel Bay and Thomas died on 10 October 1918 at Mossel Bay - both are buried at Lazaretto Cemetery. Their daughter, Charlotte Jane Bowman, married George Herbert Chester in 1893 at St John The Evangelist Church in Cape Town. They came to New Zealand with their four children in around 1909. I am really keen to find further information on any of the Bowman or Bailey families. Regards Alison Chester Auckland, NZ
