Unpublished family tree handed down to Bob Gerrish from Bessie (Bowen) Gerrish. The Bowen lineage of this family tree was compiled and handed down by Bowen cousins in Manchester and Wales. It outlines the Bowen ancestry of Richard Bowen which predates the alleged "forged" works of E.C. Bowen and may well have been his source.
