Thomas Bowles, a shoemaker, was born about 1784 in Shropham, Norfolk.  He married Hannah Davy in Mattishall parish in 1805 where they raised their family.  Most of their children stayed in that area except their son Edward and most of his sons who emigrated to Canada and settled in Toronto.  See Edward Bowles of Toronto's Family Tree.

The Thomas Bowles of Norfolk Family Tree has been provided to this site by Maureen Williams who is continuing to research this family's history.  The document is a pdf file so you will require an Adobe Reader to open it.  I would like to express my appreciation to Maureen for sharing her research in this way.
