Peter Bowrin claimed as tenant-for life for the compensation for the enslaved people on Bowrin's estate in Nevis; and G.[sic] B. Bowrin wrote to the Compensation Commissioners from Portsmouth about the award for Windmill, also on Nevis. LBS has concluded that both were the same man, Peter Butler Bowrin, son of William Bowrin. Although Peter Butler Bowrin was in England in the early 1830s, nothing subsequently has been traced of him to date.
T71/1610: letter from G.B.Bow[r?]in, 14 Landport Terrace, Southsea, Portsmouth, Hampshire asking who had claimed on Windmill [sic] estate [the letter was filed under Nevis no. 129].
