Hello Robert

I am also a descendant of Robert McDowell. There are quite a few of us since he and Frances Elizabeth Bailey had 14 children. I am a great-great grandson.
I have attached a scan of a document which I have explaining what is known to my family about his origins. It makes interesting reading.

I also have a couple of photos of Robert McDowell and Frances Elizabeth Bailey.



I hope that this is of interest to you, perhaps we can exchange some further information.

Regards, Michael

Hello Michael,
I have either forgotten this post, OR I have missed it totally.   Do you have the images of Robert and Frances that you could share please.  They are images that I do not have in any way shape or form.  Thank you too, for the scan of the McDowell story.  Very interesting indeed.

I have not been on roots for a very long time due mostly to working  very remotely in the Pilbara of Western Australia.

Kind regards
Bob. (Aussie Karrob)
