I have only just joined rootschat but think I can help you with the family of Downes-Martin.  I have left a message tonight but am not sure if it will be received direct by you, forgive me for my ineptitude!

My sons are direct descendants of Edward and if I can help to fill your gaps I would  be happy to do so, likewise I have some gaps of my own particularly I would  like to know  how Edward got back to Ireland as such a young orphan and how the original John Martin of Belfast got there from Macclesfield, or Pott Shrigley.  One source says that he travelled to America and married there but I am not sure about that.

My grandmother was Noel Downes-Martin, daughter of Edward. Lived at Killoskehane Castle, Templemore, Co Tipperary.

I'm trying to track Edward G Downes-Martin, 1909-1936. Basically I'm trying to see if either of his parents were born in Ireland. I know there were family links to Tipperary and Shrigley.

Does anyone know? I think the father was born in Canada.

Regards

Ciaran

Thanks, was aware of the father, can't find mother's details. I'm not on ancestry, etc.
Cheers
