Born 4 March 1862, the second son of Andrew Bowring, a merchant, he was educated privately before entering St Thomas's Hospital Medical School. He qualified in 1892 at the age of thirty, and served as senior obstetric house physician at St Thomas's, and senior resident medical officer at the Royal Free Hospital. He was also prosector at the College.
Bowring settled in practice at Brighton, where he ultimately became consulting surgeon to the Royal Sussex County Hospital and to the Sussex Maternity and Women's Hospital. After retirement he lived at The Pines, Furze Hill, Hove. He was twice married: first, in 1896 to Miss Wilson, by whom he had a daughter; secondly, in 1913 to Mrs Lewis, *née* Rowsell. Bowring died in a nursing home at Hove on 13 March 1951, shortly after his eighty-ninth birthday, and was buried at Hove cemetery.
