My great great grandfather was Morris Dowell (1813 - 1876) who married Jane Williams (1810 - 1864) in 1835. Their children were Jane, Margaret, William, Ellen, Mary, Job and Edward. William (1842 - 1924) was my great grandfather and he married Margaret Jones (1836 - 1908). They moved to Holyhead in (about) 1881 when my grandmother Frances Jane Dowell (1871 - 1958) was about ten years old. William and Margaret's children were - Frances Jane (Fanny) Dowell, William Morris Dowell (1872 - 1924), John Edward Dowell (1874 - 1875), Mary Ellen Dowell (1876 - 1947) and Sarah Ann Dowell (1877 - 1911). I have received some information about the parents of Morris Dowell my great great grandfather but have not been able to verify the evidence myself. I would be most grateful if you could share your research with me. Surely all those Dowells must have a common link somewhere. Is the! re a more direct way of communicating with you? I am more than happy to reveal my identity but am advised not to do so by this method. yours, in anticipation, 123mamyndalpry Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
