Mayo / Re: The Dowdle family from Westport, Mayo
« on: Monday 15 September 14 15:00 BST (UK) »
John,
Dowdle, Westport and Chorlton are all quite familiar to me. I registered with this website in order to respond to you. My GGGGran was Patrick H. Dowdle, born Co. Mayo, married Ann Hughes in Westport Jan 1850, fathered 3 boys (John abt 1850 Chorlton upon Medlock, Patrick Henry 1852 Chorlton upon Medlock, William 1855 "Manchester"), appears to have passed away at an early age as he's buried back in Westport abt 1858. Ann and the boys eventually find their way to Chicago, IL and appear in city directories in early/mid 1860's. The 3 sons are fairly well mapped on this side of the pond….but the Manchester story line is completely unknown to me. I am aware of at least a few other Dowdle's in Manchester circa 1850/60 but have yet to make any connections.
