Could someone be able to help me please?
Looking for information on the name Dower which was reported in The Freeman's Journal on the following dates...
5 February, 1821, page 3 (a trial) with two occurrences of the name Dower.
16 April 1822 page 4. another trial with one occurrence of the Dower name.
11 April 1822 page 4, there was a petition with the name Dower indexed once.
If anyone could provide me with what those reports said then I would be most grateful.
Thank you.

Hi Vabre,
As you give your location as Sydney, Australia you are able to apply for a National Library of Australia card which will enable you to research numerous Irish newspapers online, one of which is the Freeman's Journal.

Thank you Janet,
I have a readers ticket and I just found out that the dates I am after are missing ???
The State Library is shut at the moment for renovations so when they re-open in a few weeks time I will have to go into the city ::) and search at the library.
Many thanks for your reply.

Vabre,
The Freeman's Journal that I refer to in my post is available online at the National Library of Australia, (Canberra) - not the State Library of New South Wales, (Sydney).
You are able to apply for a readers card on the link previously provided.
Cheers,
Janet.

Putting in "Dower" for 1821 and 1822 actually gives me different dates to yours i.e.
July 2 1821
Aug 15 1822
Aug 26 1823 (not sure why this came up in an 1821 and 1822 search).
