Bowerman / Bowesman
Help,
I am trying to establish whether there is anylink between Bowesmans and Bowerman. My great grandfather was Henry Nassau Bowesman, DOB 29/01/1865, son of William Bowesman and Bridget Madigan, born in Waterford, Ireland.
I have found references to Henry as a Bowesman, Bowerman and Bowersman, probably due to discrepancies in translations from historical archives. In addition, it is believed that Bowesmans emigrated from Ireland to Canada and the UK, hence Lake Bowesman in the Northern Lights, Alberta, which is also known as Lake Bowerman.
Is it possible that during time, the Bowesman name has changed to Bowerman or vice versa ?
If anyone knows of any link, or is interested in more information, please let me know.
