Map of Alice and Pembroke townships in 1879
 
This family appears as Boulds (first generation) and Boal (their children) in the 1861 census.  In the 1871 census they all appear as Boal.  In 1881 both generations are recorded as Boles.  In 1891 as Bole.
 
Since they started in Canadian records as Boulds which is phonetically close to Bowles, there may be a connection back in Ireland to the Boles/Bowles there.
