Having trained as a manager with
James Wrigley in print
paper manufacturing in
Manchester, Bowater decided to establish himself in business as a paper agent in 1881. The business expanded rapidly in the final decades of the nineteenth century, supplying newsprint for both the
Daily Mail and the
Daily Chronicle. Another child was Mabel Bowater, who died on 16 June 1919: her husband was tried but acquitted of her murder. They lived at Bury Hall in
Edmonton north of London. ==References==
