Thread: Can't find information on Nancy Bowman...

From the information I gathered of her family, she was likely born in Cheshire, (where her father had family), or in North Wales, probably Flintshire (where my grandfather eventually settled) or Merionethshire (where her mother had family). As well, given that her name doesn't appear on relevant 1911 census records, but my grandfather's name does (he was born in 1909), I assume that she was born after that census was taken.

I've run multiple searches in Ancestry and freeBMD under the names "Nancy Bowman" and "Ann Bowman" but I can't find any information on her.

If anyone could provide assistance, I'd really appreciate it!

Thanks in advance.

Can you give a little more info, what were her parents names and dob/year. Any other family names, dates of birth, place etc. Maiden names of mother, grandmother etc. Did she marry? where was she living when she died. What was your grandfathers name and where was he living in the 1911 census?

Is this by any chance your family :

BOWMAN, Richard 1885 General Labourer Lancs Manchester
BOWMAN, Ann Wife 1886 Bala Merionethshire
BOWMAN, Thomas Son M 1 1910 Corwen Denbyshire (Denbighshire)

This is the only family I could find in Cheshire where the mother was from Merionethshire.
