Jasper died in Winthrop in 1868 so you might write them. Alternatively, you can try the state (vol. 113, page 369) but that's likely to be more expensive. The Downies show up in Winthrop in 1920 where Jasper is a painter [dist 677, sheet 1A taken 2 Jan.] and 1930. There are two daughters: Ethel Elsie, age in 1920 2.6, b. Winthrop, 1917 (vol 642, page 309) Grace Louise, age in 1920 1.2, b. Winthrop, 1918 (vol 145, page 49) His wife is Helene V. She is also the contact on his draft registration for WWI. ( Sorry, forgot to check for their marriage.) Both girls married and the vital records seem to be in both the town of Winthrop and in another - maybe where they moved?? Ethel E. m. 1939 - Brookline (vol 26, page 274) and Winthrop (vol 98, page 30) Grace L. m. 1944 - Revere (vol 67, page 415) and Winthrop (vol 85, page 76) Since they stayed in Winthrop, that does seem like the best place to try for records.
