Is anyone related to the Bowens in Pontesbury, Shropshire from 1700 to 1600?

Question

I am trying to find information about the Bowens in Pontesbury, Shropshire from 1700 to 1600. So far I have zero links to anyone on wikitree with this. Is anyone else made this connection. I know there are Heaps of Bowens out there!

Hello Lauren, If you use the search function and try the box at the bottom of the screen you can narrow down to «Bowen Shropshire». You might find some useful profiles there that could help you to make contact with other researchers.

I see that you have used the first names from the Latin church records for some of your ancestors. I would suggest you also add their actual English names to make it easier for other researchers to find them and connect with you.

Also, perhaps it would be better to use the nominative form for the Latin names - i.e. Gulielmus rather than Gulielmi, Catharina rather than Catharinae, since the "Gulielmi" and "Catherinae" forms translate as "of William" and "of Catherine" .

Good point Isabelle. It looks as though the names may have been taken from the baptism record for the child where it would show son of.

Thanks for that!
