The Bowdrey family can be found in Buckinghamshire as far back as the 1600's.
They ran a mill and I have found that in 1798 a Robert Bowdrey was the Miller "with 1 watermill with average weekly quantity ground thereat - 10 loads" (as quoted in the Buckinghamshire Posse Comitatus 1798 Vol 22)
There was a Bowdrey Lane named after them in the centre of High Wycombe which led to the mill.
So far have been able to get back to circa 1645 but unfortunately older records have been ruined by damp.
