Hello, Are there any connections to the McDowell family in Warrington? John was born circa 1795 in Scotland but was a journeyman traveller living at Church Street, Warrington at least from 1838-1851. He married Mary NEW born circa 1800 Ireland. Children were Margaret born c 1827, Jane, Ellen, John 1838, Sarah and a couple of others. Ellen married Jonathan ACTON and was living at Corn Market in 1854. This is a name I cannot find in Warrington these days. Perhaps someone is better informed than me. Regards Joy Ellis, Melbourne
