I am looking for the death of James Dowding, born Brampton Abbott, Heref. in 1827, lived as a schoolmaster in Bromsash in 1851 census, and probably married a Mary McArthur or Arthur in Cheltenham in 1851 after the census date. He died 17 March 1857, but GRO have no Death certificate recorded. Has anyone access to Bromsash or Cheltenham Parish records, or perhaps come across him in Herefordshire whewre the rest of the family originated ? Or any suggestions as to where I might look? Wills are probably not of much use, as he may not have had any property of his own, and his wife returned to Scotland as a housekeeper. We know he had two children, Catherine b.circa 1852 and Robert circa 1853 - cannot find their births either. Should be grateful for any help/suggestions. Thanks. Elizabeth.
