- Notes: Now we come to the links between Bowchers and Townsends. At Kenton on 07 Aug 1786 the eldest Bowcher son RICHARD 12 Jun 1760 wed Eleanor Townsend baptised 09 Jul1767. They had five girls and three sons, all of whom were baptised at Kenton. Nothing more than a baptismal date was found for the first son William 16 Feb 1787, so possibly he did not survive.
