Post by: ockie37 on Friday 22 January 10 11:31 GMT (UK)
I hope someone can help me!
i am trying to trace a Maurice Dowds (or his family), born around 1905.
Maurice was Born in Lurgan, Co. Armagh. His father name was Henry?
He had a step Sister Elizabeth Moore born 1909. Elizabeth married a John Mcshane in 1928, in Lurgan .

Maurice Dowds, came to Visit his Niece, my Mother Bernadette Fanning (nee Mcshane) in about 1978
