Any information/ Photos of the Bowery's of Parkend would be good, I no my Uncle Roy played Cricket for Parkend, Gran and Grancher lived in the old Square *sadly long gone* I remember the Turley shop and Showed shop opposite the *park* we used to watch the Cricket when we stayed with our grand parents,
We used to *walk over * the **Tumps* with our Grancher''granddad, Happy days,
I'm also trying to find out any thing about my G Grand Mother who came from Spain she married on the Rock of Gibraltar my G Grand father Thomas Bowery, they lived at the Glass Houses , Also my Grandma was a Hook before Marrying my Granddad,

Hi Geraldine,
I see you've posted on this subject a few times in the past. Searching the forum for "Bowery" gives the following prior threads. I doubt I can add anything to what you already know. I will ask my mother if she recalls the Bowery's but her memory isn't fantastic these days.

Good evening Geraldine, welcome to the forum !

You say you have some dates, have you searched this site's PRs at all, they're freely available. To make the search easier you can narrow it down to certain parish churchs, eg parkend or Huntley.
I presume this is your ggrandmother ?

This is the only "Bowery" Parish Record the site lists under Huntley Parish, although there are earlier Records for Bowry (1729) and Bower even earlier than that !. It was quite common for names to be spelt differently, especially one like your which I would say is quite unusual. Other nearby Parishes worth checking are Taynton and Longhope, there are many more Bowery etc PRs there. You mention "Glasshouses Newent". I think the Newent reference is a little misleading as this was the nearest large town, Glasshouses is really the Longhope/May Hill area. Indeed there is a Glasshouse Hill there now. (My mother was born in Longhope in 1932 so I know the area a little).

For more history, old photos and Family history/census info etc re Taynton see this website http://www.taynton.btinternet.co.uk/
Similarly for Longhope http://www.longhopevillage.co.uk/

[MOVED TO REJOIN PREVIOUS THREAD]

I'm reserching the Bowery's of parkend, I am trying to find any information re my g grandfather and ggrandmother, I no their names were thomas and Anna i've got their birth dates and Marriage dates, I have nothing on my ggrandmother as she came from spain, She was Born in a small village near malaga, I would like to find any one who new of them they lived at the glass houses newent, My Grandparents lived in the Square were we spend many happy child hood holidays, I do have a few pictures of my mum when she were young would like to put them on here in the 'old photos' But if any one can shed light on Anna Bowery who 'apparently didn't speak any english when she came here' to england, I feel she would possibly have made a few trips to parkend to see family, if thats where they lived, My gran and Grancher lived in the square untill the new houses where built up at the rise,

There are a few stories written by him so i've been told, About my
G grandmother Mrs Anna Bowery, She married my G Grandfather Thomas
Bowery on the Rock of gibraltar 6th March 1876, They had 9 children
While living on May Hill she told a few stories that were printed by
the above John 'or' Joe Watkins, Aparently she became known for acting
as midwife to the local women.
I'm trying to find out if there is a copy of this Book anywhere to read.
My grandparents were Thomas Henry Bowery 'their son' who married my
Grandmother Emily Mary hook, they had 13 children.
My Mum being one of them, Edith Ida Bowery, became Chaplin
there was 50 copies printed so i'm told, I would so love to see a copy
and read these Stories, Could someone have one of the books on a book shelf!!!
or holed up in an old book store !!
Where did these 50 copies go?

I'm also looking for Information on my G Grandma's family from Spain.

It would be helpful if you could give us an approximate time frame of when your great-grandparents lived in Parkend.
