For
Genealogy researchers tracing Bowra family records
Worth noticing
The page connects a 1842 Shorne baptism, a 1864 Hackney marriage, census entries, and a probable 1929 death.

Field notes

The project follows one Matilda Bowra through a dated sequence of records: baptism at Ss Peter and Paul in Shorne, a 1864 Hackney marriage, census appearances, and a laundress occupation recorded in 1891. It identifies WikiTree file Bowra-152 as its public spine and points readers to Findmypast or parish films for the originals. The page also separates this subject from a modern Düsseldorf shop using the name Matilda Bow, an unusually careful piece of disambiguation.
