Looking for Information About Henry C Bowring of England Canada and Merriman Nebraska
Looking for information about Henry C. Bowring of England, Canada, and Merriman, Nebraska. Henry was the great grandfather of Mary Lou French Paxton of Stillwater, Oklahoma. Henry had a number of brothers and sisters but we have few details about the siblings. We recently returned from the Nebraska Sandhills with photographs of graves of Bowring relatives that we can share.

Where and when was Henry C. Bowring born in England?
date of Mary Lou French Paxton birth ?
Henry's birth was feb. 7, 1834 in Martinstown, Dorsitshire, England. Parents were possibly Rachel Watts and Charles Bowring. Would like more info about siblings and parents also.
This looks like his Christening. Martinstown and Winterbourne-St Martin are the same palace
