yes that's the family in 1861 on the marriage cert John Peter Nottingham (the father in lasw is an Artist, I can't read the occupation of henry Bowers. It seems to say Currier or Curries but the writing is unclear., the winesses are not obviously useful James Ferris and Hannah Hooper who I suspect were just freinds of the couple |

Also if somebody could see if there were a palusible Henry Bowers in the 1861 census that would be useful. His daughter was born in 1834 so he would probably have been born 1800+/- 15 years. In 1856 at the time of her marriage Lucy Bowers was living in Albert Street Cheltenham, i suspect that he was not born in Gloucestershire, maybe in South Wales, Bristol or East Anglia at the time of the wedding in 1856 heis occupation was currier - ie a leather worker. |
