GUEST,Alice Tune Req: Benjamin Bowmaneer (39) RE: Tune Req: Benjamin Bowmaneer 04 Sep 10

Does anyone know anything about the name Bowmaneer used in this song?

It is very close to my name and im wondering if it has any significance.
My name, Bow-mer, which comes from the English Bow-maker and came into existence in Derbyshire.

There are many Benjamin Bowmer's in my family archives living in Derby, Rotherham, Sheffield, Wakefield etc between 1700-today.

One Bowmer from 1800s began a factory tailoring red tape and another has a mill producing yarn.

Any further information about the name or how it may have mutated would be very interesting. Thanks!
