Has anyone any information on the family of William DOW, shipowner, of Perth, Scotland (born Perth 1798?, date of death unknown) and his wife Elizabeth ('Betsy') KENNEDY (born Perth 1808?, date of death unknown) and their younger son (third child) Thomas Kennedy DOW (born Perth 1842)? They vanish from Perth in or after 1852, and may have emigrated to Australia. Their elder son and second child, James DOW (born Perth 1839, died Springburn, Glasgow 1911) was my Great Grandfather. I would like to be able to contact the descendants of James's son William DOW (born Strathbungo, Glasgow 1883, died Dover, Kent 1958) and his wife Mary ('Polly') Macarthur (born 1882?, died Worthing, Sussex 1963?). I should be very grateful for any help.
