Hello Harry
I think you are referring to the family of Thomas and Maria Bowker who lived in Two Trees Lane Denton Lancashire. They had a large family including Elijah and my GGGRandfather William. He married Sarah Whittaker in 1855 who I think was Elizabeth's sister because they both came from Hawarden in Cheshire. The only thing that puzzles me is that you say Maria came from Wales . She is listed as being from Haughton Lancashire on all the census records. I think where the confusion lies is that Elizabeth Davenport Sarah and Elizabeth's mother came from Wrexham in Wales. Their father was William Whittaker a hatter from Romily in Cheshire.You may be interested to know that William Sarah's first Grandchild son of her daughter Jane was named Harry Greenhalgh Bowker . He was born in 1880 before she married James Greenhalgh in 1883. They lived at 7 Inkerman Street Newton Hyde Cheshire. I would love to hear from you.
Best wishes
Sheila Bruntnell
