Robert Southey was Poet Laureate for 30 years and a close friend of Wordswoth and Coleridge. The three lived in the Lake District of England, and were the main figures in a school of poets, known as the "Lake Poets". He married the sister of Coleridge's wife, six weeks after their marriage, but Coleridge later fell out with his wife, and already had strong disagreements with Southey before the marriage. Coleridge spent his final 18 years in London, while his family remained with Southey and his family at Greta Hall, Keswick.
Southey was also a prolific writer and historian, whose volume of work includes several biographies of historical characters such as; Bunyan, Wesley, Cromwell & Nelson. The latter was published in 1813 to much acclaim. In the same year, he was made Poet Laureate, after Sir Walter Scott had declined the offer.
Southey also produced the first printed version of the Goldilocks fairytale, in his "Story of the Three Bears". It was published in 1837, in a volume of essays titled "The Doctor", although orated versions of this tale had previously existed for at least six years.
Southey's first wife, Edith Fricker, died in 1837, at their home in Keswick. She had spent most of the three previous years in an asylum, suffering from severe mental health. Two years later, he married Caroline Anne Bowles, another poet, whose work he had admired for many years.
She had submitted her poem "Ellen Fitzarthur" to him in 1817. They immediately began a friendly correspondance, and met, for the first time, three years later. He suggested that she should help him complete his poem "Robin Hood", but the work was never finished. It was later published in two fragmented versions after his death.
Caroline was first cousin once removed to Charles Bowles Fripp, who was one of Southey's many correspondants. In 1834, Robert Southey wrote a letter to C.B. Fripp, relating to a memorial for the tomb of Joseph Butler (1692-1752), Bishop of Bristol and later of Durham, in Bristol Cathedral.
See: http://manuscripts.co.uk/stock/21768.HTMFripp had also written to Southey, asking him to supply an epitaph for a proposed monument to Bristol born poet, Thomas Chatterton (1752-1770). He replied that he already had too many commitments, and that it would be impossible to honour his life in such a brief inscription.
Southey is also claimed to have collaborated with Sarah Steuart Fripp, as one of four authors of the book "The History and Antiquities of Bristol", published 1789. This seems unlikely, as the Steuart name did not become a part of the Fripp family until Sarah Steuart Powell married Daniel Fripp in 1818. The British Library does hold a copy of this book, which was owned either by her of her daughter of the same name.
Robert Southey died at his home in 1843. He had become senile for the last three years of his life, and was unable to read, write or talk. He is is buried at Crosthwaite Church, Keswick, which has a memorial inside with an epitaph written by William Wordsworth.

Caroline was born 1786 at Buckland Manor, near Lymington, in the New Forest, Hampshire. Her father was Captain Charles Bowles of the East India Company, and her mother, Anne Burrard, belonged to a military family deeply rooted in the same area.
She was an only child, although her father had adopted a son, presently only known as Colonel Bruce.
Her father died in 1801 and her mother died in 1817. She had been left a considerable inheritance, but this had dissappeared at the hands of an unscrupulous guardian. This may have been her cousin, Charles Bowles of Weymouth. At the time of her mother's death, he appears to be the only surving nominated guardian mentioned in her father's will. Her adopted brother, who was not even mentioned in the will, offered to help with her finances. She reluctantly agreed to kis kind gesture, but would only accept an annuity of £150, the bare minimum required to live on.
To support herself, she started writing poetry and submitted her poem "Ellen Fitzarthur" Robert Southey. He admired her work, and they immediately began a friendly correspondance. They met, for the first time, three years later, and he suggested that she should help him complete his poem "Robin Hood", but the work was never finished. It was later published in two fragmented versions after his death.
Southey's first wife died in 1837, after spending three years in a mental assylum. Two years later, he proposed to Caroline, and she reluctantly agreed, knowing it would cause much ill feeling with his children.
Robert Southey died at his home four years later, the last three of which he had become senile and was unable to read, write or talk. He is is buried at Crosthwaite Church, Keswick, which has a memorial inside with an epitaph written by William Wordsworth.
After his death, Caroline returned to Buckland, where she died in 1854. She survived on her own writings, and also published the incomplete and fragmented "Robin Hood" poem. This was the only work of Southey's that she retained the rights to. The rest went to his children. The papers and letters of Robert and Caroline are held in the British Library.

Little is known of Charles at present, but further details may be found in the papers of his daughter, Caroline Anne Bowles, and her husband, Robert Southey, poet laureate, which are held at the British Library.
Charles was a Captain with the East India Company, and probably spent much of his life in India. By 1782, he had settled in the New Forest of Hampshire, where he married Anne Burrard. At some point, probably before he married Anne, he had adopted a son, known as Colonel Bruce. Perhaps from a previous marriage.
Colonel Bruce was not mentioned in Charles' will, but he was living in 1817 and offered financial help to Caroline after her mother died.
Charles made his will on 31 Oct 1800, and died in 1801. It was proved 27 July 1802, but a note on the side of the will states it was proved again on 10 October 1815, by Charles Bowles (his nephew), the sole surviving executor. This nephew was the only surving executor when Charles' wife died in 1817, and may be the unscrupulous guardian who left Caroline without her inheritance. He was probably the Charles Bowles recorded as Justice of the borough of Weymouth.
The will is difficult to read, but it seems that Charles' estate was left to his wife, Ann, and her brother, Major General Harry Burrard, and also to his nephews Charles Bowles of Weymouth, Gentleman, and Reverend Edward Bowles, clerk, sons of "my late brother, Edward Bowles". His brother, Edward, appears to have died a few months before Charles made his will.
The will also mentions his daughter, Caroline Ann Bowles, and he appoints the above, Harry, Charles & Edward as her guardian, after his and his wife's decease. Rev. Edward Bowles, died in 1808.

RS settles in Keswick with Edith, but leaves for Dublin for a brief spell as secretary to the Chancellor of the Irish Exchequer. Publication of Thalaba. Death of Charles Bowles, father of CB.1817
Death of Anne Bowles, mother of CB. CB starts writing poetry under the signature “C” and “A”. Much is later published in the newly founded Blackwood’s Magazine. Publication of Wat Tyler by RS. Publication of Biographia Literaria by Coleridge.
CB sends RS a copy of Ellen Fitzarthur and RS becomes an admirer of her work and a friendly correspondent.
CB survives on an annuity of £150 paid by Colonel Bruce, her father’s adopted son.
Col. Bruce was adopted by Capt. Charles Bowles, possibly before he married Anne Burrard.
When Charles and his wife died, their daughter, Caroline Anne Bowles, was left in the charge of an unscrupulous guardian, who took most of her inheritance. This may have been Charles' nephew, Charles Bowles of Weymouth, who appears to be the only surviving guardian of the three named in Charles' will. This is not yet verified.
However, Col. Bruce played his part as a dutiful brother, and offered to help with her finances. Against her pride, she accepted his offer, but would only take an annuity of £150, the bare minimum required to live on.
Details of Col. Bruce are unknown at present. Perhaps he was the father of Liet-Col. Courtenay William Bruce J.P. of Brooke House and Testwood House, both near Southampton and Lymington. Courtenay was born about 1837 in Bath, Somerset.
Details of C.W. Bruce JP
His father was a barrister. In 1851, he was visiting William Oke, curate of St. Mary's church, Eling, near Southampton & Lymington. His elder sister, Elizabeth, married a Mr. Harker. They appear to be related to the Courtenay family of Powderham Castle. See: http://www.artfact.com/auction-lot/english-school-19th-century-portrait-of-miss-el-1-c-g0a9gas78h
