Out of print books
« on: Tuesday 10 January 17 21:10 GMT (UK) »
Hello,

I am looking to get a copy of an out of print family history book:

Semple, Mary; Family History of the McDowells of Wigtonshire, Scotland, County Antrim, Ireland and Kent County, Ontario, Canada; 1927.

This was previously held by PRONI but I have just been advised by them that it is no longer in their library.

Can anyone help with suggestions for where I could get a copy.  The McDowells are a well researched family from Antrim, and previously Wigtonshire, Scotland with many who emigrated in the 18th century to the US and Canada.  There are many references to this book on the web but I have not been able to source an actual copy.

Many thanks,
KESTON RUXTON.

You could try the Linenhall Library in Belfast. They have a large section of local family history books. And perhaps the British Library in London has a copy?
