Interesting from the Census of 1911, the entries are written by persons residing at the address which is now given as 140 Brown Lees, Brindley Ford, nr, Tunstall. It was completed by Harriet Bowers.
James Bowers, 47 yrs Head , Furnace Helper at Robert Heath Iron and Steel works
Emily Maud Bowers, 37 yrs
Harriett Bowers, 17 yrs daughter , Velvet Divider
John Bowers, 15yrs, son - Forge Lad
James Bowers, 13 yrs son ( My Granddad ) - School
Reginald Bowers, 10 yrs son - School
Harry Bowers, 8 yrs, (I think this is Henry)
Albert Bowers, 2 yrs
William Bowers 5 months
They had been married for 18 years, had 10 children,3 of which had died. House described as 4 rooms, so that would be two up - two down.
Some research has help me discover 3 children:
Ellis Bowers, born 7th September 1899 but death recorded on same date
Harold Bowers, born 1904 in the registration period Oct to Dec. He died October 1904.
Emily Bowers, born December 1905,died April 1907
