I'm trying to find out some information on some elusive family members and hope the good people of rootschat can help. The family I am looking for are:
Husband: Andrew McDowell (or could be shown as McDowall) b. circa 1826 in Ireland
Wife: Catherine McDowell b. circa 1826 in Ireland
Catherine McDowell b. 10/02/1850 in Accrington
Andrew McDowell b. 23/08/1851 in Accrington
I suspect that there may be an older daughter, Mary, who was born in Ireland but I haven't been able to trace a date of birth for her. Can anyone help me find out any more about this family please?

Thanks for that very fast reply, suz! Very impressive. :)
I guess the son, Andrew, isn't showing up as he was born AFTER the census date in 1851?
Is it possible to look up the 1861 census to see if they are still in Accrington and whether there are any further children please? Thank you so much for your help.

Sorry, I have found them in the Scottish Census for 1861 so my query has been answered. Thanks so much for your help! It's very much appreciated.
