Dear Lyn, Thank you for the information from the Treasury Calendar, British History Online. Henry Dowdall's father Nicholas died in the 1660s and his mother Katherine Plunkett remarried Lawrence Taafe. Dr. Taafe must be a relative of his step-father. The record of the mortgage is very interesting. I am not familiar with a 2a, could you please let me know what this is in reference to? You have provided some interesting information.

Dear Margaret, a2a is the website for the National Archives. www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/a2a/ There are some interesting looking Dowdall refs. As I said it covers archives all over the country. Try Henry Dowdall and just Dowdall and see what comes up. Regards, Lyn At 19:10 07/11/2013, you wrote: >Dear Lyn, > >Thank you for the information from the Treasury Calendar, British History >Online.
