Maggie McGowan
My g-grandfather was Thomas Bowden Frith born in 1857 in Sheffield. His mother
(my gg-grandmother) was Ann Bowden of Drogheda.
There is a record of a William Bowden who sailed from Belfast to St. Andrews, New Brunswick, Canada in 1827 along with his first wife Mary McCartney and their children. Mary McCartney died in Canada and William married again to Mary McGinn on 16 Feb 1834. Mary McGinn was from Ireland and was a Catholic. Their children were:
James born 1834, married (1) Letitia Reid (2) Adelia Craig
Ann born 11 Jun 1835 (Ann and Maggie were twins)
Margaret ("Maggie") born 11 Jun 1835, married Thomas McGowan
Elizabeth ("Eliza") born 1837, married Dominicus Milliken
Edward born 1839, married Mary Elizabeth Craig (had son William Bowden), died 30 May 1913
William died at the home of his daughter Maggie McGowan in St. George, Charlotte, New Brunswick at the age of 92 years in 1890. He must have therefore been born about 1798.
Does anyone know anything about Maggie's twin sister Ann?
I'm hoping Ann turns out ot be my gg-grandmother.
