Hi Rick,
Nice to hear from you and I'm pleasantly surprised to find a possible distant Downing kinsman.
re. Downing farm ; It seemed to be approximatly 30 acres, One third was given to Edward Downing,
James' brother who died about 1900. The census of 1901 and 1911 names John Downing and wife Susan  and also his daughter Annie born ca 1900.
I believe Annie married  Andrew Scullion in 1924 and had some offspring.She is buried in the Belaghy church yard with Andrew and the gravestone appears to be quite new.
Patrick Dawson Downing ,my mothers father was a Nationalist firebrand all of his life. He did not volunteer in 1914, he went out India in 1918, but assaulted one of his Indian workers and was
sent back to UK. He oddly enough said the reverse of your Downing /Downey story and maintained
that the name was changed to Downing to appear more 'English,'
I'm not sure how to get in touch with you,you can contact me on facebook under Jaimie Hanley

many thanks to downing researchers
my quest is to find father of james downing b.1839 of kilyberry downing. . its probably
a john downing b.1790? but i am unsure about this.
Sarah b.1884 and Mary anne downing b.1879 migrated to Barrow in furness ca 1910.Sarah and future husband edward Morris are in 1911 census,hotel Imperial,Barrow (Bridget b.1877 may also have accompanied Mary Anne )
Mary anne  b.1879 married Devlin. Their descendants are in Barrow area
to this day.

]f the family is related to Dawson downings  they changed religion from COI to RC possibly through marriage.

hi rick
this is first time I've  mailed you
my grandfather was patrick dawson downing b. 1869 kilbery downing
his father was james downing b.1839, kilberry downing and his mother bridget henery of drumard who married in 1868.  Their eldest son john downing b.1868 inherited the farm at kilberry downing and his son john lived there until mid 1930s
father of james (1839)was john downing,
I think my downing family is linked to family of dawson downing b.1739 but i'm not quite sure how.
can you help?
regards
james  hanley

hi
my grandfather was dawson patrick downing b1869 kilberry downing
he was the second son of james downing ca. 1835-1889 and bridget henery 1848-1905  married 13 jan 1868 lavey
james' father was john downing and bridgets' father was patrick henry of drumard
a brother of james named in will of 1889 was edward downing
also named in will, children of james and bridget; namely
john, dawson, edward, james, henry, bridget, maryann, thomas and sarah
I would be grateful for any information concerning this family particularly ancestors of john downing b.ca 1805
and descendants of james downing b .ca 1835. sarah became sarah morris on her marriage. Another james (possibly son of john b.ca 1868) emigrated to cairns, queensland ca .1930
