- Notes: Hello Geoff, If you are still there and interested in Bowcher research, please respond. My initial point of interest is A.R.C. Bowcher of Huonville in the 1890s.
I suspect he was descended from John Crocker, his grandfather, who came to Tasmania in 1829, arrived 26 Oct. on the brig Mary Ann, with spouse and seven children. “A.R.C.” believed the year was 1820 and Crocker had brought out with him two hives of bees. One of his children was Susan (1817-1912) who, I believe, married Henry Chown(e) Bowcher (1797-1843). It’s possible John Crocker Bowcher (1841-1864) was her son, who died at Huon Valley at the young age of 22 to 23. Susan had three sisters, Ann, Mary and Elizabeth. I don’t know how A.R.C. fits in the family tree. Susan had two brothers, John and Robert. It’s possible one John (snr. or jnr.) was a dairyman, for a John Crocker provided cheese for display as part of Tasmania’s contribution to the Great Exhibition of 1851 in London.
