Unfortunately in Victoria we can't go off on a tangent but have to be well prepared as we have to order records in advance at both the Public Record Office (PROV and the National Archives (NAA). It does help me focus though and have a research plan :)<br />Regards<br />Anne from Ballarat<br />undertaking my first AtoZ challenge at http://ayfamilyhistory.blogspot.com.au/Anne Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17970750528434435027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5749871.post-89980498325575323022014-04-02T05:46:48.003+01:002014-04-02T05:46:48.003+01:00Best wishes for the A to Z Challenge.

I do have his autobiography, appropriately named "The Autobiographically Recollections of Sir John Bowring".

Info taken from *The Knights of England*, by Wm. A. Shaw, 1995 reprint, vol. II, p. 350. (Besides genealogy, I also love to research royal and noble ancestries.)
