 Research Notes:
Edward is noted as "my brother, the Late Edward Bowles" in the will of Charles Bowles esq. of Little Buckland, Lymington, Hampshire in October 1800.
The will is difficult to read, but it seems that Charles' estate was left to his wife, Ann, and her brother, Major General Harry Burrard, and also to his nephews Charles Bowles of Weymouth and Reverend Edward Bowles, clerk, sons of his late brother, Edward Bowles.
The will also mentions his daughter, Caroline Ann Bowles, who married the poet laureate, Robert Southey.
Edward's parents were probably Edward Bowles and Bridget Downing, whose daughters, Dorothy and Lydia, both married Fripp's.
The Visitation of England (Fripp family) shows Edward as father of Frances Middleton Bowles. It describes him as Vicar of Bradford-on-Avon, Wiltshire.
The C.of.E. Database shows he was ordained as Deacon on 2 Nov 1783 and Priest on 6 Nov 1784.
He was Vicar of Marden, Wiltshire from 25 Sep 1793 to 1 Feb 1805
He was Vicar of Bradford-on-Avon, Wiltshire from 8 Dec 1804 until his death on 1 Aug 1808
