My Great Great Grandfather was John Bowman...Hi Tom. My Great Great Grandfather was John Bowman Reynolds. His occupation on his Wedding Certificate (5 May 1841 Sydney, Australia) was "Mate". He went on to become a Master Mariner in Australia. As his first child was not born until 1844 it is possible that he is the first mate referred to in the above incident. Do you have any further details? I have searched the online records of the Old Bailey without success. Would love to hear from you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03998120339495019153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1580440583214043427.post-78175493010052741192012-01-13T23:33:59.670-08:002012-01-13T23:33:59.670-08:00Hi Tom.
