Thanks for your email.
I would be really interested in any information you might have. The only details I have, that I know are correct, are about my ggg grandmother Emma Bowry who came to New Zealand and started our 'clan'. Her parents were William and Sophia. Williams parents were Francis and Mary. Francis's parents were Francis and Catherine. I have actually had a few people email me with information that might help me, but I can't find any links to my tree and there seems to be soooo many Francis's it's very confusing. One person (you might like to make contact with him at
paulmadelin@supanet.com) has been to the vault for me and copied all the inscriptions. Although the names seem to be the same, the dates I have don't coincide. Maybe my dates are all wrong, they were given to me by someone else researching the tree. It certainly sounds like you and me are from the same Francis and Mary, so I would really like to compare details. Email me direct at
lee@callplus.net.nz. Another person who seemed to have heaps of info but didn't quite mactch up was a guy called John (
jr.h@btinternet.com) You might like to email him too. He descends from Mary Bowry but she was married to a Benjamin Barrett. It appears the Bowry's was a huge family with heaps of people with the same name!
I really look forward to hearing from you
Lee
