OUTLINE OF THE BOWKER / BOOKER FAMILIES This outline attempts to interpret the known facts, as presented in the various parish registers, but there are too many gaps in IN and neighbouring parishes, South - the registers to make any firm judgements. The second half of the 17th century for example is very poorly covered in Maltby. (relationship unknown) (Please note that we have no connection with mainly in the 16th and 17th centuries http://www.ardrosshouse.com/family.htm Elizabeth BOWKER other sites using our material, with advertising.) On the other hand, although the name is not common in the 1379 bur.
