Hi Annette,

I have only just noticed your message as I have had server problems but I was inteested because Mary Bower was my great- grandmother. Two children you do not seem to have details of are Tabitha and Jane Hannah. I think Tabitha was William's twin and that they were the first two children. There is a Burial record (at Holy Trinity) for Tabitha on the 15th April 1845 aged 11 weeks. Jane Hannah was Baptised 5th March 1854 and although I think she had worked in service whe was back living with her mother in the 1891 Census still unmarried. My mother says as far as she can remember Jane never married and lived for a while with Joseph's son's family then moved to Steam Mills. Unfortunately I have no idea which William Bower was James's father although I had found the marriage record and noted that he was a sawyer and also that Ann and James had had a double wedding with Aaron and Jane.
