25.01.2022 Well, I've been neglecting this page, but now with my social isolation in place (so weird for someone like me) I'm back to finishing the book. Stay tuned! This pic is Elizabeth Bowman (nee Paterson) who immigrated in 1841 from Barr village and married William Bowman. She is my great great great Grandmother.

21.01.2022 This is the photo we believe to be of Agnes Love and James Bowman's engagement. Agnes would take her own life by swallowing rat poison just nine years later - read the book for details.
21.01.2022 Though I dont have 100% proof, several clues have led me to believe that this is Elizabeth Addison (nee Bowman) She was William and Elizabeths third daughter, born 1849. She looks quite tall?
