About from Boden to Bowden
Where did the name Bowden come from???
 The Origins are Scottish

The forefathers of the Bowden family were Viking settlers who came to Scotland in the  Middle Ages

Spelling variations of the family name  include Bowdon, Boulden, Bouldene, Boldan,  Boden, Bodden and many more

When they were first found in Cheshire they ere seated from very early times and were  granted lands by Duke William of Normandy, their liege Lord, for distinguished  assistance at the Battle of Hastings in 1066

Some of the first settlers of this family in America were Ambrose Bowden, who settled  in Maine in 1620, Jane Bowden settled in Virginia in 1653, John Bowden settled in  Jamaica in 1661, Martha Bowden settled in Barbados in 1664

In between the years 1381-1665 the Bowden Family resided in Bowden Hall  just outside  Chapel-en-le Frith Derbyshire where there house is still situated ,The occupier of the  house today (2009) is grandson of Charlie Roberts, first captain of the world famous  Manchester United Football Team, Ted Roberts

Moving on again,the Bowden family of mine have lived in Manchester since the early  1800's having moved  from Northwich, Davenham and Great Budsworth ,all in cheshire ,  where they worked as carpenters,or canal boat people,working the salt miness in the  area

These notes have been complied by Alan Bowden, author and illustrator  of this  page  together with the unselfish help of my brother Frank Bowden, for whom i am eternally  grateful
