If Samuel is one of yours and if he is the Grandson of William and Elizabeth, then he would be the son of Samuel Robinson and Annie Martin my 2nd great grand parents.

I have Samuel and Mary Ellen Lyle with one son John Lyle Robinson b.28/08/1890.  I will look back through my records to see what I can find.

Let me know if you find anything that connects as I have a lot of information going back further.

Hi, 

My McDowell line is with Margaret.  She was born in 1850 to parents Robert and Jane McDowell in Gleno/Raloo, Antrim.
She married Alexander Townsend in May 1870 (Raloo Presbyterian).  The witnesses were Jane McDowell and Gordon McDowell.  Alexander and Margaret then left Gleno and arrived in New Zealand in Sept 1870.

Alexander and Margaret named one of their sons Gordon (Townsend).

Do you know if your Gordon McDowell had a sister called Margaret?  Could Jean be Jane?
