BOWIE FAMILY

Posted: 9 Feb 2011 7:38AM GMT
Classification: Query
Surnames: BOWIE, CLARKE, CRAWFORD
I am trying to help a friend here in Northumberland, England to trace her Australian ancestors, her information is a little sketchy but she does know that a JOSEPH HENRY BOWIE died in 1974 in Queensland, possibly in the Mount Molloy area.
He wss married to a JEAN A CRAWFORD and had the following children Joseph, David, Evelyn and Gordon.
He arrived in Australia to join his father (another Joseph) in 1929 under the Salvation Army Migration Scheme.
His mother was an Evelyn Bowie (nee Clarke) and he had sisters Sue and Samey (not sure about that name).
His mother Evelyn and daughter Susie emigrated to Australia in a year unknown, Joseph was possibly born in Australia along with a sister Samey (??), they were unhappy and sailed home to England, Samey (??) dying on the voyage. But Joseph returned in 1929 to join his father.
Anyone with any information, however small, please contact me.
Kind regards, Pauline Thomas
