Michael, please update the details for surname BOWLES/MILLS on page 3 to
just be BOWLES with the following:





John Bowles married to Ann Mills about 1799. They lived Dunleckney, co.
Carlow from about 1808 to 1818, four children born there and then emigrated
to Canada. He would have been the shoemaker in Dunleckney. They also had
three children before Dunleckney but I don't know where yet.



His brother, Joseph Bowles, married to Ann Feltus (probably she was from
Dunleckney) in Carlow town in 1808 where he was a shoemaker with a shop on
Burrin Street. He emigrated to Canada about 1830.



William Bowles, probably another brother, lived in Carlow town until dying
there in 1886 at age 86. Do not know his occupation for sure but he may
have been a saddlemaker. I believe he was married and had children but have
not found any records to prove that yet.



The Bowles family was all from Ballickmoyler, co. Laois but had strong
repetitive connections with Carlow town and Dunleckney from the mid-1700's.
In co. Laois were tenants of the Cooper family from Newtown, co. Carlow
which is near Dunleckney so the Coopers may have been their ongoing
connection to that area.



Would be interested in any Bowles/Boles information from anytime and
anywhere in Carlow. My known information is posted at
