Ireland / Re: andrew and mary anne dowds (nee mcconnell)
« on: Monday 22 November 21 05:21 GMT (UK)  »
Hi, my son-in-laws GG grandfather was Andrew Dowds, on doing research I found he was married twice, first to Mary Ann McConnell and they had 1 daughter called Mary, and secondly to Miriam Cargo and they had 11 children, too many names to write here. I do have more family history, William Dowds who was married to Ellen McKimble (Kimble) was the father of William James Dowds married to Mary Mullan, Andrew was their last son. I'm also looking into what happened to Andrew Dowd, as he left his wife Miriam after the children were born and I'm told he moved to England with another lady. I can't find any record of him after that.  The last son, Andrew, had 4 sons and 1 daughter (I think), my son-in-laws grandfather, William James who has died was one of these.  I do know the names of the other children, I just have to check if they have died, I believe they have.
Chris

Thank you both for your replies, I'm in Australia and searching in Ireland is new to me, I've joined Find my Past for 12 months (thought it was for 3 months ha ha) so I'll see what I can find.  I'll also look through the Births and Deaths, it does take a bit of looking around.  Thank you again.

I'm searching for birth/death/marriage certificates and military information that I can't find in Irish Genealogy.ie or Groni. All brothers born in Belfast.  Is anyone able to head me in a direction where else to look please.

Andrew Dowds  - not known - WW2 Ulster rifleman
William Dowds born about 1925 - WW2 Royal Marine - enlisted around 1942 at 17 but put his age up.
Hugh Dowds - not known
Samuel Dowds - not known

Thank you

Our Andrews father was William and mother Miriam (Mariam) Cargo. They had children Andrew, William, Hugh and Samuel, maybe not in that order.  Although I have found Miriam's first marriage to Thomas Hall in 1915 and subsequently their children Thomas born in 1915 and an unnamed daughter in 1918, I can't find anything else for Miriam or William or their children. Neither Marriage or birth certificates. I've gone through lots on Groni but to no avail.  Thank you for your help so far,

I think I'm on the wrong track, Andrew Dowds born around 1901/02, I now believe his mother was Miriam Cargo and his father William Dowds born in Belfast or around there. 

Miriam had a son prior to marrying William, named Tom Hall who died in WW2, a half brother to Andrew.  She then had William, Hugh, Andrew and Samuel, maybe not in that order.

Where do I go to search for marriage and deaths certificates or war records as William Jnr was in the Royal Marines and joined at 17 in 1942 by putting his age up.  Andrew was a Ulster rifleman.

Can anyone assist with information please.
