Bowden or Bowdern or Bowdren

[r-careys]

Hello Forum Members,

Looking for any information or ideas on the following family that departed from Cork on the ship Samuel Boddington and arrived in Victoria, Australia 13-jan-1842
Through birth death and Marriage certificates here in Australia the family name changes from Bowden to Bowdren and to Bowdern.
The family that left Cork were Dennis along with his wife Johanna (ne Carey) and their children Margaret, John and Mary Anastasia.
Dennis gave his age for shipping records as 34, his wife as 27 his children as 7, 6 and 2 years of age.
I would like to have any information possible, what was their real name ( my guess is Bowden) where were they from (Cork)? When and where were they married, where were they in 1841 census any other family members.

Well it is a long shot but thought I'd share our family Bowdern name. My Grandmother was a Bowdern, her parents were Thomas Bowdern (Nellie Hardy). Thomas parents were John Bowdern (Mary Kelly). John and his wife came to the US probably mid 1800's. She (Mary Kelly)was buried in St. Louis, MO, USA in 1883.

John was one of 7 children: James (Marg.Manion), Michael (Kitty Riley), Thomas, Martin (Mary Ann Stanton), Ellen (Tim OBrien), & Nancy (who died young). Any of those names ring a bell? We have heard that all the Bowderns are gone from Ireland. Many were sent to Australia. Are there many Bowderns there in Australia? We are traveling to Austalia Mid Feb 08....
John Bodern's family was from Dungarvan, County Waterford Ireland. His mother's maiden name was Tobin

I just found these same Bowdern family members in my tree this last week - though this is not a direct line for me, my connection to them comes from Timothy O'Brien's sister Johanna O'Brien who married Patrick Cronin in St Louis. Patrick and Johanna were my great-great grandparents. I will try to pm all 3 of you to see if you're still around since this is an older post.

I found the information you have on Dennis and Johanna. Their daughter Mary Anastasia is my GGG Grandmother.

Did you ever find their parents or where Dennis and Johanna were married?

Hi Mike,

I never found anything and went down a different path after this. I haven't looked at this branch in quite some time now myself. It's probably past due for a review to see if anything new has popped up. I don't recall at this point if I ever heard back from anyone else in the thread.
