BOWDEN / BAWDEN
FAMILY of
DULOE & LISKEARD

BOWDEN/BAWDEN: Bowden and Bawden are the same name of Anglo-Saxon origin. It is either either a topographical, describing a "dweller by the top of a hill" or (bufan dune) "above the hill" from the Olde English pre 7th Century. Or it may be locational from any of the places called Bowden/Bowdon but still with the 'hill' concept of the location still involved. Even places of the name in Scotland, from the Gaelic 'both an duin' still translates 'house on the hill'. It can be found recorded as Bowden, Bawden, Bowdon and Bawdon, and it can vary even per the same person by as such a simple means as the variation chosen by the record keeper. (From 'The Internet surname Database) Now whether our name is to be searched as Bowden or Bawden perhaps the parish listing and extration of the intial family marriages transcription ought to be our guide. To that end such Duloe and Sheviock parish records of the marriages will be presented below.

*Note: Baptism information on Joane and Susanna obtained through Family Search - see below.
       Also found there were two Boaden sons baptism in Breage whose details would fit this
       family if Edward's required profession was one in which Edward was required to travel.
       So though they may not fit a listing of them and a looking at them seemed to be of 
       interest even though Breage is at the far west end of Cornwall and that the marriage 
       date is preceeded by what would be Edward Boaden's birth.
** CRO AP/B/2769 Will of Edward Bawden, yeoman, of Duloe 1710
   CRO AP/B/3247 Will of Robert Bawden, tanner, of Duloe 1728
^ There is a question on whether the marriage date ought to have been extracted as in 
  1703 - Note listing per full text of Cornwall parish:
  @http://archive.org/stream/cornwallparishr04rowegoog/cornwallparishr04rowegoog_djvu.txt

        1 701 1702 1703 1713] Sheviocke Marriages. 23 Mr. Peter Osborn & Mrs. Anne Chapman [both] of Liskeard ... Edward Bawden [of Duloe] & Jane Chapman, of Duloe ... John Martin & Mary Wise Thomas Truscot and Mary Helman Thomas Williams, of Antony, & Elizabeth

There is nothing in that listing that would suggest 1705, 1703 would be a better summise if this was taken from the parish record. Sometime '5' and '3' are hard to read and can be mistaken for each other. New life for the wonder two sons listed in family above??

Family Search gives two other possible matches for Jane:
Jane Chapman

christening: 24 April 1683 NORTH TAMERTON,CORNWALL,ENGLAND 
 
father: Tristram Chapman 
mother: Mary 


Jane Chapman England Births and Christenings, 1538-1975 christening: 2 March 1683 ALTARNUN,CORNWALL,ENGLAND father: Henery Chapman mother: Welmett

And regular OPC Cornwall records lookup provides a Johana Chapman, cb 4 Mar 1679 at Bridgrule which would bring her nearer to child bearing age, but not exactly where she could have been found by Edward. (See Chapman page)
