hi Anthony

How do you know the Shaws were a big family in that area?  Do you see a lot of them?

I have never heard of the name Officer.

Thanks for all the info you send me.

Hi Anthony

What I have been trying to do is find a connection with my grandmother Maggie Dowds who was supposed to have lived at 24 Molyneaux St and my father Herbert Shaw.  I don't know what happened to my grandmother.  She had a wooden leg and I am not sure if she died young.  My father actually was born Herbert Dowds.  I am trying to link up the Dowds with the Shaws.  My father was born in the Belfast Workhouse, sadly enough.

Do you have any ideas?

What area does this man you work with live in- the Docks area or the Shankill?  Would you say that Hazelnut is in the Shankill? 

Thanks Anthony.

Hi Anthony

The Shankill Parish not in the Shankill district?

I don't understand how these districts work.

Hi Bambie

I saw this on the  Mormon site.  Notice there is a Samuel Dowds, Mary from Fife Scotland and a Maggie Dowds....This looks good!
