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.
