April 13th 1849 the diarist Romilly reported: Poor Bowtell is in sad tribulation. His daughter Alicia (aged 32) as a Roman Catholic and had been courted by a R.C. named Smithson (a glass painter employed at Kings Chapel): she is said to have refused him: he has been to the R.C. Priest and has beaten him furiously with a poker, and Miss Bowtell is dead suddenly: – quaere, did she take poison?
April 18th 1949: Poor Miss Bowtell poisoned herself … she was found dead and there was posion in her stomach: the verdict was ‘died of poison but whether taken volant. or ignorantly does not appear’.

28th November 1853 Romilly wrote: Bowtell (the Bookbinder) called on me about getting an allowance from the Hobson Trustees for prentising his son ( as his uncle had given £500 towards that Charity): I advised him to go directly to the Spinning House: he caught the trustees sitting and they instantly granted him £10, with which he will apprentise his son to a brother Bookbinder (Armstrong).
Romilly’s editor notes that John Bowtell (1753-1813), stationer, historian and wealthy bachelor, bequesthed a large sum to Addenbrook’s Hospital and a more modest one to the Hobson trustees specifically to apprentice boys to useful trades.
