I know, just wondering whether that is the Eliza McDowell that married a David Mc Comb in 1855 and could possible be WJ's mother.

Doesn't help that in Robert McDowell's will it names an Eliza McComb.
Why did they all have the same names

Another assumption but possible John McDowell was annoyed that William's widow was with WJ and hence wanted to claim his father's estate.
I'm gathering that Robert's will is the same connection, especially since he died in 1875 and William in 1877 and then they were both granted a month after Eliza's death in 1881.
Thank you everyone for your help on this matter, it has been really frustrating me (for years!) and the lack of sleep over the past few weeks trying to find this record, that I know probably doesn't exist.

Would she still have taken his name (Mc Comb) if they hadn't married? As the court and death certificate state Mc Comb wife of WJ McComb.
I know records were kept until 1864, is there anyway to find birth records before that?

Apologies for the two threads.
The will record for a Robert McDowell in 1875 he mentions leaving his farm to his son William - it also mentions a son John and daughter Eliza McComb (who I believe married a David McComb in 1855).
John McDowell brought the legal case against Eliza McComb (William's wife) - I believe because she remarried and according to Robert's will it should be past to John, after the death of William.
Both William and Roberts lands were granted to John McDowell May 1881 (after Eliza McComb committed suicide).
I didn't know whether William John was the son of David and Eliza McComb (nee McDowell) and hence WJ married his aunt???
Sounds strange, but knowing the area they lived in and will and lack of marriage record thought this might be possible?

Just puzzled, as her first marriage was registered and her second husband's next two marriages were also registered.
