Author: eghoweljones Surnames: Dowell Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.dowell/934.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I have a William Dowell who died (I think) in 1812 whose grandson, also William Dowell, my Great grandfather, was born 9 November 1817 at Meliden, Flintshire. This William's third child, born on 24 November 1850, was also William Dowell, the older brother of my Grandmother, Jemima Dowell. Does this help? If so please let me know what you can tell me of the Dowells in U S A and also how I might help further. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
