The Bowles of Sarnia, Ontario

A son, James Bowles Jr. moved on to Sombra township in the 1870's. Another son, Henry James Bowles, learned the photography trade and became Harry Bowles, Photographer in Winnipeg, Sarnia and Pembina, ND.

The following Bowles with a Johnston connection is probably connected somehow to the apparently completely unrelated John Bowles of Sombra family.
