Message Board Post:
Good morning,
I am looking for any information regarding the death of relative John BOWES.
John was born in Ireland to Michael BOWES and Mary KAVANAGH in 1833.
He immigrated to the US in early 1850's and the parents/12 children settled in
HOBOKEN, NJ
At some point, John ventured west and found successful work mining in NEVADA.
It is believed that he was married and had children. I found two 1870 census that show
John married to an Elizabeth - with children Charles, John and twin girls Elizabeth and
Lucy.
I suspect this is his family as Charles and Lucy are sibling names to John.
I'd like to find out:
where John is buried and who with?
what company he worked for?
additional details about the explosion?
newspaper articles?
obituary?
details about what might have happened to the family - i'd love to connect with living
relatives and share so much about our east coast cousins.
It is POSSIBLE that John/Elizabeth and family lived in California, prior to Nevada
Many thanks - in advance
frankie
