Hi Everyone,
I've had a few threads over the years about Henry Bowin but he still proves illusive after 1851 when he is supposed to have died.
All I know of him is that he was born 1815c in Hull, Humberside. He married on the 11th May 1840 at the Parish Church of Sunderland to Elizabeth Nicholson. Age given as Full. Occuption a Marriner. Father Frederick Bowin, Mason.
There is a baptism at Holy Trinity, Hull on the 14th August 1815 of an Henry Bowin who's father is Frederick. I think its likely that this is my Henry's baptism.
1841 Census he's at Monkwearmouth Shore, Sunderland aged 26 with his wife Elizabeth at her parents' home. His occuaption says something like Sawer? and that he wasn't born in county.

1851 Census he's with wife Elizabeth and their two known surviving children still in Monkwearmouth Shore. He's 36 and a Marriner born Hull.

It is after this census that I have no further confirmed sighting of Henry or a death for him. By the time of the 1861 census, his wife Elizabeth is in an Asylum and described as a Widow. She died 1874 and buried at Mere Knolls Cemetery, Fulwell where the record says she was the widow of Henry Bowen.
If anyone fancies helping look for Henry again, its much appreciated. You've all helped in the past so totally understand if you don't fancy another look for him :)
