Could someone please tell me where i can find the 1744 census for Birmingham. I am looking for information on Thomas Bowen born 1744, married Sarah Gardiner, 5th March 1764.
Thanks in advance.
Thomas Bowen & Sarah's MARRIAGE BOND says that he was 28 when he married which makes his birth date 1736. In the same marriage bond Sarah was listed as being 22 making her birth date 1742 or thereabouts.Hi Dotti. Thomas Bowen born 1744 in Birmingham. Married Sarah Gardiner 5th March 1764 at St Martins. Thats as far back as I've managed to get, so-far. James was my great grandfather x5, he was a clockmaker. Your tree aligns with mine. However, I have different birth dates to yours. By my reckoning, you are one of my fathers cousins.
Hope this helps,
Nigel
Hi Virginia, the only reason I could give to you for sharing is that I've started to search and buy back as much "family silver" that I can, owing to my pride. As well as, your dates differ from mine and I would appreciate you scrutinising the family tree I have.I'm tracing the Bowen Family tree from Thomas Bowen 1736. & Sarah Gardner 1742 through to the present day & on my family tree there is NO James Bowen born to ANY Jonas descended from Thomas & Sarah Bowen. There IS a James Bowen whose father was JOHN & mother Mary. I'll see if I can find that record again. I would post my version of the Bowen Family Tree however I did it with one person & NEVER received even a "thank you" for what amounts to over FIFTY years of work by my great-uncle Harry & myself so unless "someone" can give me a reason to share then nope.

Here's the information I gathered about James Bowen's birth in 1812. The parish register says John & Mary Bowen are his parents. I searched through the original parish records around 1812 & can't find another James.Thomas Bowen & Sarah's MARRIAGE BOND says that he was 28 when he married which makes his birth date 1736. In the same marriage bond Sarah was listed as being 22 making her birth date 1742 or thereabouts.
