Hi I have been looking at your reference to the Bowley family from Creswick.
E.A. Bowley's 2nd child, Ann Bowley although not married had a son Charles Curtis Bowley 1871 #15547, raised as E.A.'S son.
C.C.Bowley is my great grandfather he had 4 children, Raymond Charles Bowley, his only son, my grandfather, had 5 daughters and 2 sons, my mother, Marjorie is his eldest child still living at 82, she has great knowledge of the family.
