Hi and welcome to the forum.

It's not a name known to me that any of our forum members are researching, but you could do a search (link at the top of the page) to be sure.

But is there anything that we can help you with?

Thanks Mary. Not sure how Ireply. I have checked and found two people in the "Surnames List" who are reseaching Bow(e). One e-mail address is defunct. No reply from the other as yet.

On the forum there appears to be two mentions of the name Bowe - too many instances for just Bow, probably a word or part of a word.

But maybe you would have an interest in these

There is mention on the Liverpool's Scroll of Fame

and although this is an old posting perhaps the author still picks up mail linked with his forum membership so might see if you add a reply to it.

Alternatively, if you need any help with your research, let us know and we'll see what we can do.

Sheila sent me this message.

Just to say a name associated with Bow(e) and Kelly in St. Helens was Haggarty or Haggerty. I have never found the church they used in St. Helens. Years ago I tried Holy Cross but no luck. As they lived in Parr and Gerrards Bridge could you give a guess to which R.C. Church they were connected?

I dont know if somebody else might be able to help.

This site is very good for providing a list of churches in the appropriate area http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/LAN/StHelens/

The entry is on LancashireBMD for 1862 - John Kelly and Mary Bow. Prescot Regisgter Office or Registrar Attended.

One thought is that if you were to apply to the local Register Office for the marriage certificate it should give you the church. If it doesn't I would phone them to ask why not.

Cant find anything in Lowe House records from the cd, but there was a Jacob Hagarty married Mary Kelly on 14th Aug 1898 at Holy Cross

One church that could be a possibilty and does not seem to be on the cd is St Mary's Blackbrook!
