yvette,

Here is also the website for the 1945 Census for Bay Roberts area in Port De Grave, and
it lists many many Bowering's. happy searching....
Also if you go up to Home up above and just put in Bowering, it will bring up many of their
families whether still living or their burial places.

Yvette,
I forgot to paste in the website address in the last post ...it has many Bowering's listed
for the 1945 Bay Roberts Census...
