Some feedback from Marian might help ;-)

Mariian is probably going to have a bit of a time following some of this ... I know I do, some of those awful, long, hard to read census copy and pastes with all the unhelpful info like 'folio number' and 'back to search results' and whatnot :-)

some of us who have helped her with her tree know that she has some memory problems, if I can put it that way

I don't recall the name Bowkill/Bowskill coming up before

so Mariian maybe you could explain a bit about what you know about Mary and why you are looking for information about her (how you are related to her) ?

it is always best to do that when you start, just say briefly what you know about someone and what you need to find out

JoonieCloonie

JoonieCloonie Report 10 Apr 2014 01:09

this birth would match the age and place of birth of

Mary (Bowkill) Fowler

in the 1881 census

Births Mar 1862
BOUSKILL Mary Elizabeth - Sheffield 9c 284


I wonder whether she was a child of these parents in the 1871 census in Brightside Bierlow, but was not at home with them on census night (when she was 9 years old)

William Bourkill 31 born Killamarsh Derbyshire
Maria Bourkill 36 born Whiston Yorkshire
Annie Mary Bourkill 4 born Sheffield
Florence Bourkill 2
Jane Bourkill 1
James Cartwright 20

an Ancestry user has corrected the surname to BOUSKILL and said

'other census have this spelling or have been corrected to this from bowskill'

... but no, they were probably William Bouskill and Maria Abson who married 1864 in Sheffield


so she was born MARY BOUSKILL in Sheffield in 1862

and she married before the 1881 census

so the only chance to find her in a census with her parents or as Mary Bouskill is in 1871, and I am not finding her yet

that is the way the new FMP is printing out census information .....................


it's awful, isn't it ! :-)


JoonieCloonie

JoonieCloonie Report 10 Apr 2014 01:18

yes but we don't have to paste everything we copy :-)

I have just tonight encountered the horrible new search form at FMP for passenger and military records ... just when I was about to throw Ancestry through the nearest window for making it impossible to search for people in censuses (or even bmd records!!) by place of birth and place of residence and making its census search form completely uselessly two monitor lengths long ... everything is designed for telephones today and me with my monitor on my desk I should just be put out to pasture !

Although I don't have fmp .......... I've just been reading their FB page, and on here.



I'm not having any problems with ancestry ........... so long as I have "Match all terms exactly" ticked


fingers crossed :-)




and I'm still using Windows XP :-D

edits (Sylvia, the 1881 looks more like GR style, FMP is worse than that now!!, so much editing needed to fill in spaces, and make it in a way that anybody can understand, what a shambles, also time consuming, very!)

Local Report 13 May 2014 17:50

Bowskill is an old Killamarsh surname, sometimes Bowkill or Bouskill, Killamarsh is Chesterfield District. In nearby Kiveton Park there are also Bowskill, this is Sheffield District and nearby Rotherham District depending which village you lived in.

you might want to send Marian a pm (private message) .............. she never returned to this thread

Just click on her name, and type you message in the box that appears.

GR will then send her an email to let her know there is a pm waiting in their internal system.


Just in case you did not know .................... GR does not notify people of new postings on threads of interest to them unless they have ticked the "Add to My Watched Threads" box below the reply box.
