Bowers Robert Laws was born on 17 November 1853, about 10 weeks after his parents and two older siblings arrived in Sydney. 'Bowers' was his paternal grandmother's maiden name, however, he seems to have been known as 'Robert' for most of his life.

Bowers and his twin brother, Vincent John, were baptised on 14 October 1855 in Camperdown.
