Walter Bowles the Gardener's Family TreeBack to Walter Bowles, a gardener of Tipperary, Wales, Carlow and Dublin This is the known family tree: Walter Bowles b. ~ 1815 Ireland; probably Tipperary (father James, a bootmaker in Ireland; mother not known but possibly an Elizabeth based on the name they gave their first daughter; that would most likely be James and Elizabeth Bowles of Silvermines, co. Tipperary) (Walter was a gardener at Talacre, Gwespyr, Flintshire, Wales in 1840-41; a gardener at Spring House, Tipperary in 1842; a gardener at Johnstown, Carlow in 1851; a gardener in Dublin in 1870 and 1881; he was living with his son Walter at 4 Lad Lane, Dublin when he died) m.

d. Jan-March 1882
(civil reg. Vol. 2, p. 677)Mary Anne d. July 1881  (on
July 9 an Esther Tracy, apparently unaware that the baby had already
been baptized at St Marks, brought baby Richard to the St Andrews
(Roman Catholic) Church stating that the father, Mr Bowles, was a
Protestant and that the mother was Protestant and dying, the priest
then baptized the child using the name Richard Joseph Andrew Bowles,
the Joseph Andrew seems to have been the name that the priest gave
to any child not accompanied by a parent as the previous entry
shows; the rest of the note on the record is hard to read but
appears to state 'child bringest to me by nurse who states the wife
died of consumption')
