Tipperary / Re: Downes-Martin
« on: Monday 05 December 16 20:38 GMT (UK) »
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.
