2. | Robert Mitford Bowker was born on 30 Aug 1810 in Newcastle-On-Tyne, Northumberland, England (son of (8) Miles Bowker and Anna Maria Mitford); died on 23 Sep 1892 in 'Glen Avon', Somerset East, Eastern Cape, South Africa; was buried in Craigie Burn farm, Somerset East, Eastern Cape, South Africa. Other Events and Attributes:
Notes: Initially thought that Robert was born at Morpeth in Northumberland, but then discovered that Miles and Anna and their sons must have moved to Charborough Park in Devon sometime in 1810, as I discovered that Miles was paying 'Land Tax' for rented lands at Lythchett Matravers from a William Trenchard, Esq. from 1811 through to at least 1816. Miles also paid £32 tax for the tithing of Charborough on 3rd May 1811, owned by the Earl Drax Grosvenor, Esq. When we found a transcription Robert's Death Notice, it stated that he was born in Newcastle, ie Deckhams Hall, which means that Miles and family would have only 'gone south' in the latter part of 1810. Robert married Sarah Elizabeth Hart on 19 Dec 1838 in 'Glen Avon', Somerset East, Eastern Cape, South Africa. Sarah was born on 16 Jun 1820 in Somerset Farm, Eastern Cape, South Africa; died on 25 Aug 1875 in 'Craigie Burn', Somerset East, Eastern Cape, South Africa. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart] |
