Hi Heather. This is Anthony from the Antrim board, don't know if this is of any help to you :-\

Cavan Town 1870.

John Downie Draper, Main St.

Downie the Misses School Fountain St.

I know its not Downey & no Downey or Downie in 1852

Thanks Anthony I'll keep it in mind as there may be a connection.
John Thomas Downey married Emily Ferguson in London City in 1875 he gave his father as Robert a carpenter. JTD was an upholsterer. On the 1881 &1901 censuses he was born in Cavan County. On the 1891 it says Dublin!  ???
I get the feeling that this is as far back as I'll get with this line. But I live in hope. :-\
Cheers Heather
