Hi Not sure if I am doing this correctly but I am researching the JOPLIN family tree. The surname is not BOWKER-JOPLIN but JOPLIN. However BOWKER in the name is correct. Frederick Bowker JOPLIN was born in 1825 in England and was the Rector in the Ramsey area. His son was also named Frederick Bowker JOPLIN and he was born in 1850. His son was named Frederick Bowker David JOPLIN and he was born in 1890 in the Huntingdonshire area. He served in the WW1 as an engineer in the British Merchant Navy. His boat was torpedoed by a German sub. I am not sure when he came to South Africa but lived in the Molteno/Queenstown area. He married Ivy Ruby HARRIS who is Kate Olver HARRIS’ sister. Two brothers married two sisters. Ernest JOPLIN was Frederick Bowker David JOPLIN’s brother. Frederick Bowker David JOPLIN was my husband’s maternal grandfather. If anyone needs some info I shall be more than happy to assist and if anyone has some info they can help me with, I shall really appreciate it. Regards Cheryl Behrens

Hi Cheryl, I think I also came to the same conclusion that it was not a double barreled surname. I have some info on the Frederick Joplin families on my website at http://www.1820settlers.com/genealogy/getperson.php?personID=I117281&tree=master and would appreciate any updates that you can let me have, to help make an accurate and complete tree of all the 1820 Settlers. Having the info on the website makes it easier for others to check, and submit updates for all to see.
