Thanks Anthony I'll keep it in mind as there may be a connection.
John Thomas Downey married Emily Ferguson in London City in 1875 he gave his father as Robert a carpenter. JTD was an upholsterer. On the 1881 &1901 censuses he was born in Cavan County. On the 1891 it says Dublin!  ???
I get the feeling that this is as far back as I'll get with this line. But I live in hope. :-\
Cheers Heather
