Migrants - Ann Coumbe and Jacob Bowden, 1838

 

Jacob Bowden, wife Ann Bowden (née Coumbe) and daughter Lydia, with son Ed born aboard, migrated to South Australia on the Royal Admiral, arriving 18 Jan 1838.  Their son, James Coumbe Bowden, followed later on the Lloyds in 1838, coincidentally with Ephraim Coombe.  Ann was the sister of James Coumbe, the author's major migrant of interest.  Her ancestry is documented in Henry Coumbe, Margery Northey and 3 generations.  Ann and Jacob were married at North Hill, Cornwall in 1833.

 

Jacob and family migrated with the family of Jacob’s brother John and further background on them can be found at State Library SA’s A Typical Journey from England to Australia (new window).  The address on Jacob’s emigration application is Five Lanes in the parish of Altarnun, Cornwall.

 

In 1858, Jacob was noted as a herbalist in Gilles Street, Adelaide.
