Events in My Family Tree: January 20

I might be related to the first couple listed in the marriages on both sides.  I know that Bertha Dunstan is the daughter of my great-grandmother's brother.  But I have Bowkers in my tree from a branch of my Armstrong line.  Bowker isn't that common of a name, so I'm wondering if Daniel is related to them.
