Rosanna O'Dowd
« on: Tuesday 16 June 15 22:35 BST (UK) »
Hi Everyone

I need some help tracing Rosanna O'Dowd born abt 1890 in Thames, Coromandel.  She married George Neville Carlsen in 1913 and died in Otahuhu 9 June 1964.

Can anyone help me find Rosanna's parents?  I have no idea who they might be, her birth seems to be missing from the DIA site but maybe there is a tricky spelling that I'm missing?  I've checked microfiche for the years 1889, 1890 and 1891 with no luck.

Help!  :)
