1881 117 St Owen Street, Hereford, Herefordshire. (see note 1 for full list of occupants) 1891 The Gate House, 131 Widemarsh street, All Saints, Hereford, Herefordshire. With the family was a Reginald S. HARPER Assistant Master School, born Highbury London, James M SANDMAN? aged 13 a Scholar born St ???, Herefordshire, Francis H SANDMAN? aged 11 a Scholar born St. ???, Herefordshire, Frederick Thomas WALL aged 15 born St Mary's Worcestershire, John C JONES aged 12 a Scholar born Carmarthanshire, and Thomas H ARKELL aged 13 a Scholar born Brampton, Herefordshire. Also with the family was an Agnes STOKES a Domestic Servant born Boden Lane, Herefordshire and a Rose WEAVER aged 23 a Domestic Servant bon Leominster, Herefordshire. 1901 St Michael's School, Westgate-on-Sea, Margate, Kent. Over three pages of names for people at School, so too many to enter here. 1904 120 Fulham Road, SW (at marriage) 1911 68 Holsworthy Square WC. Only occupant but down as married. 1919 to 1925 Herbert Taylor Wake BOWELL appears in the British Phone Book between 1919 and 1925 The 1919 entry states he was at 2 Churston Mans. WC1 phone Holborn 4693 In 1925 he was still at 2 Churston Mans. WC1 with phone number Museum 2585 I therefore assume that for the directories for 1920 to 1924 he was a the same address 1946 Newspaper Record for a Dorothy Desiree Wake BOWELL BARCHARD : BOWELL. - On Sept. 3. 1946 at the Church of the Holy Family. Nairobi, CAPTAIN JOHN MAXWELL BARRINGON BARCHARD. The Royal Welch Fusilliers, only son of Brigadier and Mrs. D. M. Barchard, of Penycraig, Aberporth, Wales and Kenya, to DOROTHY DESIREE WAKE, only daughter of the late H. T. W. BOWELL and Mrs. Bowell of Worthing. (14.9.1942) 1947 Dorothy BARCHARD arrived at Southampton on 7th March 1947 on the "Andes" from Bombay. she is down under "Army Families" aged 27 last place of residence Kenya and going to 34 St Mathews Road, Worthing, Sussex. It is these last two facts that make me certain that it was the daughter of Herbert Taylor Wake BOWELL. The age give as 27 would mean that she was born about 1920. There is a birth in March quarter 1920 of a Dorothy D W BOWELL in St Giles district, London. However the mother maiden name is give as MORTON which suggests that Herbert T W BOWELL had married for a second time, BUT I cannot find a second marriage for Herbert before 1920 BUT there is a marriage for a Herbert T W BOWELL to a Maud M MORTON in March quarter 1931 in Croydon district, Surrey. Which is eleven years after the birth of their child. As I cannot find the death of his first wife perhaps he left her and was living with Maud until his first wife died and then he married her. 1881 Manor House, Everleigh, Wiltshire. Family of Dora as follows. Charles W CURTIS Head aged 57 a Gunpowder Manufacturer Merchant Farmer of 400 Acres employing 10 mean and 4 Boys and a Blacksmith born Marylebone, Middlesex.

There is a visitor a Mary PEACH aged 29 Living on Own Means born Northampton. and lots of servants.1904 18 Selwood Place, South Kensington, London (address at marriage) Father Charles William CURTIS, Gentleman 1911 Selley House, Brockhurst, Hampshire. This census throws up all sort of queries and problems as the London marriage certificate for Dora Margaret FORMAN née CURTIS confirms that she did indeed marry Herbert Taylor Wake BOWELL in 1904 and the people involved really do confirm this. However as shown on Chart Herbert although down as married on the 1911 Census does not have Dora with him. And then on this Census we have Dora Margaret FORMAN (not BOWELL) as a Widow, With here were two of her children Dora Chrchton aged 20 born Boldre, Hampshire and Geoffrey Reginald aged 18 born Boldre, Hampshire. all down as Private Means. with them was a Lauel Corrinaa CURTIS aged 2 a Niece born Boldre, Hampshire. There were seven servants with the family. Perhaps the marriage in 1904 was annulled for some reason. There is a birth in March quarter 1920 of a Dorothy D W BOWELL in St Giles district, London. However the mother maiden name is give as MORTON which suggests that Herbert T W BOWELL had married for a second time, BUT I cannot find a second marriage for Herbert before 1920 BUT there is a marriage for a Herbert T W BOWELL to a Maud M MORTON in March quarter 1931 in Croydon district, Surrey. Which is eleven years after the birth of their child. As I cannot find the death of his first wife perhaps he left her and was living with Maud until his first wife died and then he married her. Have now found death for Dora FORMAN she died in 1931 , so would think that as soon as this happened Herbert married Maud MORTON who had had the child Dorothy in 1920. 1891 Settay Lodge, Boldre, Hampshire.

It is these last two facts that make me certain that it was the daughter of Herbert Taylor Wake BOWELL. The age give as 27 would mean that she was born about 1920. There were four children with the name BARCHARD and the mother's maiden name as BOWEL all I think children of this couple born between 1947 and 1952 so assume all still living. This has turned out to be one of the most complex chart I have done. It would appear that although Dora Margaret CURTIS married Herbert Taylor BOWELL she did not then continue to live with him, she reverted to her first married name, but did not divorce her second husband and therefore he did not marry again to her death in 1931 when he then married the person he has been living with and had had a child by in 1920. This was the last BOWELL chart and I only found information for it from a marriage announcement in Kenya. Otherwise I would have had no reason to put this chart on at all.
