It cannot explain the features of Edwin Robert (Ned) Bones if Mary Ann Cowen was white and of white parents, much less can it account for Edwin Bones telling the applicant Baden Bone that Edwin’s mother Mary Ann Cowen was part aboriginal or the description of her as very dark skinned by her greatgrand daughter Beryl Denny.It is quite possible that those facts area ccounted for by Mary Ann Cowen being a part aboriginal child taken in by Thomas Cowen and his wife some years before they themselves married. on 18 October 2002.
