Hi Gill,

I have been doing some Family History research for my Mum's friend and just found your posting.  As far as I can work out, my Mum's friend is a direct descendant of both James Bell Dow's mentioned in your original post.  She would love to get in touch with you.

Hi I am new to this but joined up because of this thread.  I wish I had found it earlier because I have read all of these documents before and could have saved you some time maybe - but looking for the info is all the fun, isn't it??

Jane Helena (known as Ellen) King was my Great-great-grandmother.  From what I can work out, after the death of Albert Ernest, the older 4 children were taken away into care.  I have their Children's Home records.  They were committed on the 11 June, 1885, and from what I can work out, didn't live with their parents again.  The eldest and youngest were almost dying from want of food and exposure, so that may be what the baby died of.

I have more information if you want - I'm not sure how these message boards go.

I hadn't found the records of the later children's births to William Johnson, but did think it strange that she said her husband was William in the inquest...

The plot thickens...
