The Bowles of Wexford, co. Wexford
See also The Bowles of co.
Wexford for references elsewhere in the county.
There is one very early
reference which may or may not be a Bowles in the parish
register for Wexford (C of I):
Nathannele son of Thomas Bohl
christened 20th Nov 1677.
While Thomas is a common given
name in the Bowles family in this area, Nathaniel does
not appear again and there are no further references
from this early.
The earliest definite
reference that I have for a Bowles in Wexford is a
Deed Memorial 53899 dated in
1734 referring to a Thomas Bowles of the Town of
Wexford, Gent. who is the lessor of some land in St.
Iberius parish. This memorial also refers to a
John Bowles of Lechlade in the county of Gloucester and
who likely was the same person as the John Bowles who we
know was in Dublin until 1730, which may give us a clue
to their origins although not necessarily. See
Thomas Bowles and
Family of Dublin for more on that family.
In Wexford (town) proper we
have:
James Bowles
