Notes: in 1861 he was in the Royal Navy and his census record indicates that the ship he was on was in Beirut, Syria, or he was stationed there. Francis married Susannah Turner on 8 Aug 1869 in St Mary, Lambeth, Surrey, England. Susannah (daughter of John Turner and Jane Banks) was born on 18 May 1851 in Southwark, London, England; died on 25 Sep 1926 in Oudtshoorn, Western Cape, South Africa; was buried in Main cemetery, Oudtshoorn, Eastern Cape, South Africa.

9. | Susannah Turner was born on 18 May 1851 in Southwark, London, England (daughter of John Turner and Jane Banks); died on 25 Sep 1926 in Oudtshoorn, Western Cape, South Africa; was buried in Main cemetery, Oudtshoorn, Eastern Cape, South Africa. Notes: Marriage certificate between Susannah and Francis William Bowker. This is the one that caused all the problems because her age is listed as 22, giving a birth date around 1847. We now know (from her gravestone) that she was born 10th May 1851, making her 18 on her wedding day. Why this was falsified is a mystery, as her father was at the wedding and could have consented to the marriage even if she as a minor. Notes: Married:
