I run the One Name Study for Dowbiggin, so do let me know if you need more information or help.  I think my tree is public.  Were you able to see it when you followed the link I sent?

This name originated in the Lanacashire/Yorkshire/Westmorland area of England, but has spread from there.

I am the person running the One Name Study for this name and its variants, including DOWBAKIN, DOWBEKIN, DOUBIKIN, and others.

FYI, Enoch was born in around 1874, not 1884.  Piecing together the family now in records at Ancestry.com

Not sure if this is right place to post this.  I have identified John Coventry and Alice Dowbiggin/Coventry.  They were both born c1842 in Preston and Wray, Yorkshire respectively.  Two of their children were born in the US - Alice A in 1870 - Connecticut and Enoch NF in Brooklyn 1884.  I am not sure when they went out but they were back in Preston in 1886.  Any ideas to find out when they travelled and what they did over there?

Thanks

I've also found them in the 1891 Census with more children.

I've got information on her family before she was married here: http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/23008023/person/1341120955

I am going to update her entry in the tree with this information now.

I am trying to find (on behalf of a friend) the family of William Graham, shoemaker, and his wife Ann Harkness.  Their daughter Margaret Ann was probably born in Hayton around 1855 or so, and she is my friend's direct ancestor.

Having trouble finding this family in the Census.

Thanks,
