Hi Everyone I am researching the DOWKER family. James DOWKER was born c 1823/24 in BEETHAM/BATHAM Westmoreland fathers name is Samuel and possibly mum is JANE? James Dowker came to Australia (Queensland) on board the Waroonga in 1887 aged 63. Also both his sons Samuel and James came here as well the same year with their families on the Chyebassa and Roma ships. Both boys seem to be miners! James died in Queensland in 1900 and I’m hoping to find out anymore on his parents deaths/marriage births etc. Any help is very much appreciated. Kind regards Dianna from Sydney
