James Dow/ Jean Philip
« on: Sunday 27 August 06 00:09 BST (UK) »
Hi, I would be intersted to hear from anyone descendant from James Dow who married Jean Philip. I have found OPR marraige banns for this couple on 25 SEP 1791 in Falkirk, Stirlingshire, and also on 28 SEP 1791 in  South Leith, Midlothian.
They had 9 children
Elizabeth b. 30 Jun 1792,
James Bell b.04 Jul 1794
Ann Seton b. 02 Jun 1797
Peter b. 28 Apr 1799
Archibald b. 06 Sep 1801
Alexander b, 11 Oct 1804
Jean b. 22 Jun 1806
John b. 08 Aug 1808
Charles b. 04 Apr 1814
all born in Falkirk, Stirlingshire

James Bell Dow (b.1794) married Jean Skean on 21 Sep 1814 at Saint Cuthberts, Edinburgh, Midlothian. They had 13 children all born North Leith, including a James Bell Dow b. 13 Oct 1815.

The name James Bell Dow is carried on through to the present.
Hope to hear from anyone researching this family.

Gill

Hi, still hoping that there is someone out there with any of the above names in their tree. After 5 years of researching this family, I have gathered a lot of information, but no one to share with, as it would appear that no one else is researching Dow surname.
I live in hope

Hi Gill,
Did a search for Dow tonight and found your postings.  Don't know if there is a link but I have researched my Dow's, many of whom were in Falkirk at least from 1840's and prior to that appear to hail from Perthshire (I have dates back to 1790's) with a James Dow who married a Margaret Millar in Fowlis Wester in 1792.

One branch of the Dows I have also discovered moved to Linlithgow with a David Dow who went on to have children in Philpstoun and Edinburgh. 

I am still very much piecing this bit of my tree together.  Have you come across an Alexander Cummings Rutherford Dow in your research?  He is my G Grandfather on my mum's side and married an Elizabeth Cox Maxwell in Falkirk in 1868.  I have discovered a James Dow (flesher) who was the son of David Dow and Jane Main and brother of Alexander CR Dow.

I look forward to hearing if any of this is ringing bells with you.

Kind Regards

Hi Gill,

I've just noticed from the names that you are researching at the bottom of your messages that you are also looking into Anderson, and Eaglesham, Eaglesome, as well as the Dows.  How spooky!   Shocked  Me too!! Cheesy
