Family history research. My Great Grandfather, Frederick James Bowden, was born in Ashburton around 1850. He was a Brush Maker and moved to Bradford where he settled and raised a family. His father was Thomas Bowden born in Ashburton in 1810 who married Margaret Male. I am researching with Ancestry and now that I can see other people's family tree, I am beginning to wonder if much of my research is wrong prior to 1810. I am already a volunteer with the Free BMD website. I am currently rekeying the 1837 marriages and I am told we have 100 million entries to complete! This takes up much of my spare time or I would be glad to help. Thank you for your efforts which are appreciated.
