- Notes: Henry James Cann Bowcher 29 Jun 1815 at St Petrock was another mystery. I
could find no detail about him and thought he may have died young but as big
brother Edward left a legacy to 'any child or children of my late brother Henry
Bowcher' he may have moved abroad or beyond my range of investigation.
