Bengal Merchant (1839-40) William McDOWALL ++ COMPLETED ++ Thanks to all
« on: Sunday 22 February 09 14:44 UTC (UK) »
Hi
I've recently found out that my ggggrandfather William McDOWALL (b 17 May 1801 Penninghame, Scotland) sailed on the Bengal Merchant from Glasgow to Wellington, with his wife Clementina and children Jessie and Robert.

Jessie, my gggrandmother returned to England around 1872, and married a soldier in the Household Cavalry (Charles Farrow)

William appears to have been a scientific instrument maker (at least in Edinburgh). I would be very grateful if anyone knows what became of William, Clementina and Robert.

Many thanks

first problem will be a more well known William Mcdowall also living in Wellington.

Bengal list,

I also saw a listing for a Jessie returning home,

and maybe your William on a jury list, 1850
