He married my cousin Eliza Sarah Hulin (1831 - 1910) at Newport, Monmouthshire in 1854. They had at least two known children Rosa Eliza Hulin Dowell 1855 - ?) and Emily Amelia Gillman Dowell (1857 - ?), both school teachers. Here is what I have on Samuel and Sarah Dowell. In the 1841 Census of England and Wales Samuel & Sarah Dowell were recorded as follows; 1841 Census - Pitchcombe, District 2, (Stroud), Gloucestershire. HO 107/ 355/18 - 8 - 9.
