	Thomas Bowdler
		Thomas Bowdler (July 11, 1754 - February 24, 1825), an English physician, has become (in)famous as the editor of a children's edition of William Shakespeare, the Family Shakespeare, in which he "endeavoured to remove every thing that could give just offence to the religious and virtuous mind."
		For example, the death of Ophelia in Hamlet was euphemized into an accidental drowning rather than the deliberate suicide implied by Shakespeare.
		His name lives on in the eponym bowdlerization (adjective bowdlerized), to describe the process of censorship by arbitrary deletion of "objectionable" material from a work of literature to "purify" it, rather than banning the work outright.

		Furthermore, Dr Bowdler presented Burgess with copies of a number of his publications (and those of others) which are still extant in the library at Lampeter, and in the year before he died, he had addressed the Royal Society of Literature, founded by its long-serving President, Thomas Burgess.
		The main collector, however, was Thomas Bowdler II (1661-1738) who was sent to London from Dublin as a boy to be brought up by his uncle, a city merchant, who had started the family tradition of collecting pamphlets.
		The Nonjuror outlook of Thomas Bowdler II imposed no restriction of subject matter on the collection which was as wide ranging as pamphleteering itself, ranging from the high-minded to political satire, the scurrilous and the bawdy.

		Thomas Bowdler (July 11, 1754 – February 24, 1825), an English physician, is best known as the source of the eponym bowdlerize (or bowdlerise), the process of censorship by arbitrary deletion of "objectionable" material from a work of literature to "purify" it.
		Bowdler was born near Bath, the son of a gentleman of independent means, studied medicine at St. Andrews and at Edinburgh, where he took his degree in 1776, but did not practice, devoting himself instead to the cause of prison reform.
		This expurgation was the subject of some criticism and ridicule, and although Bowdler was not the first to undertake such a project, it permanently associated his name with the process as a negative example.

	Richard Bowdler Sharpe (1847-1909)
		Born 22 November 1847, London, the eldest son of Thomas Bowdler Sharpe publisher, Grandson of Rev. Lancelot Sharpe, rector of All Hallows Staining, London.
		Thomas was the only one of Lancelots children to have 'Bowdler' in his name therefore I think it must be a forename rather than part of his surname.
		I believe that either Thomas got the 'Bowdler' part from his paternal grandmother (Jane Mary), or that he was given it from a religous connection - he was born in 1818, the same year that the 'Bowdler Family Shakepeare' was published.

		Bowdler, a man of independent means, had trained as a doctor but following a breakdown in his health spent the rest of his life in charitable undertakings, such as continuing the work of the prison reformer John Howard.
		Though it was once thought that the Family Shakespeare was his idea, it is now known that his sister Henrietta (also called Harriet), had previously published expurgated versions of 20 of Shakespeare's plays anonymously in 1807 under the same title and that her efforts formed the core of the later publication.
		Alas, the Bowdlers’ attempts to sanitise the works of the master played sad havoc with their quality and Thomas was bitterly criticised for his prudery and heavy-handed editing (though the ten-volume work went through five editions by the 1860s).
