  • Notes 
    • Ivan Mitford-Barberton's research show that Thomas' parents were Thomas Bowker and Elizabeth Brabbin.

      PaulTT has found a marriage in Wigan of a Joseph Bowker marrying Elizabeth Brabbin, both of Manchester.
      His death is recorded as being in Morpeth, and father being Joseph Bowker.
      Name: Thos. Bowker
      Gender: Male
      Age: 72
      Birth Date: 1726
      Death Date: 3 Sep 1798
      Burial Date: 5 Sep 1798

      Father: Joseph Bowker
      FHL Film Number: 1469099
      Reference ID: P. 7 No. 60
      Therefore, Thomas' father was the Joseph Bowker who married Elizabeth Brabbin!

      Thomas inherited Deckham Hall from his uncle John Bowker, who had purchased it in 1720..

      Advertisement in the 'Newcastle Courant' May 27th 1809:
      "DECKHAM'S HALL. To be sold by private contract, called Deckham's Hall, otherwise Mitford House...."

      William James purchased 'Deckham's Hall' (otherwise Mitford House) in May 1817 for the sum of £7,100.
