A team research project by Alan Bowles, David Cooper and Tom LaPorteThe Bowles of Essex also settled along the Blackwater Estuary. The Tollesbury Bowles were involved in the oyster fishery industry for many generations. I hope to include their family tree at a future date. There were Bowles at Heybridge in Maldon parish. A William Bowle of Heybridge, Essex married Lida Love by 1698 and it's likely their son James, son of William Bowles of Maldon, Essex, yeoman, who was apprenticed to Ralph Rosbotham of the same parish, taylor. ref. John Bowles, a sergeant in the 88th Foot Regiment was apparently stationed in Essex as a son Zacharia was baptized in Maldon parish in 1809. ref. I believe this to be the John Bowles of Brickshall, Suffolk who served in the 88th until his discharge in 1814 at age 40.
