How many different ways do you think Bowes can be spelt? Im searching for thomas and mary a bowes-both born in ireland but were living in bradford fron at least 1868 as their children were born there- I can only find the family in the 1891 census and its driving me insane....suggestions would be gratefully received |

It might be a mistranscription of Bowes rather than a different spelling, could be read as Bowers have you tried leaving off the surname when searching? |

Thanks I will try Bowers...I didnt know you could leave surname off- and yes thats them in 1891, but i cant find any of the family on other census...frustrating and time consuming! |
