Sub-fonds 1589-1641. - George Augustus Bowring,

George Augustus Bowring (1828-1855), called 'Gussie' in the family, was born 14 June 1828 at Mile End, Liverpool, the son of John Raphael and Emma Bowring. He went to Oporto in Portugal in 1843 for a year's education. He then lived in Aracati and Para in Brazil from 1844 to 1849. He returned to Britain and was resident in Manchester from 1849 to 1852. He then moved to London and worked in a countinghouse. He married Anna Tilbury, daughter of John Tilbury of the Bank of England on 11 Jan. 1853, in London. He died in London on 10 April 1855 and was buried in Highgate cemetery in a unmarked common grave (no. 6449/46). Unusually, two conflicting records exist, one suggesting that he was baptised on 14 Aug. 1828 at St John the Baptist, Chester; the other that he was baptised on 14 Sept. 1829 in Rhaeadr parish church.
