Tyrone / James Dowdall and Mary Jane Prince
« on: Monday 24 April 17 20:27 BST (UK)  »
I'm looking for information on the families of James Dowdall (born 1830) and Mary Jane Prince (born circa 1830).  They were married in Belfast on 27 September 1850 - the record says it was a Civil Marriage Record.  His father was John Dowdall (Labourer) and her parents were Thomas Prince (Boot and Shoe Maker) and Mary Green.  James and Mary had 10 children, 6 of them born in Ireland (some of them in County Tyrone).  They moved to Greenock, Renfrewshire, Scotland between 1862 and 1863, where they remained.

I would particularly like to know dates of birth, marriage, death of both sets of parents and how many siblings there were in each family.  I don't have dates of birth for James or Mary, but I do have full information once they got to Scotland.  The name Dowdall became Dowall eventually, and is the name used by the family today.

I will post this message on the Antrim sub-forum too, to cover both areas I know about.

Many thanks in anticipation.

Europe / Ferdinand and Frederick Grott - Danzig, Prussia
« on: Friday 25 September 15 09:59 BST (UK)  »
My Great, Great, Grandfather, Ferdinand Grott, was born in Danzig, Prussia in 1823/4.  His parents were Frederick Grott and Carolina Ross.  I know this information from the Scottish records, as Ferdinand was married and lived in Scotland from 1857.  Both Ferdinand and his father, Frederick, were listed as Ship Masters - I have Certificates of Competency for Ferdinand.

I would love to find Ferdinand's birth certificate, as well as his parents marriage details.  I would also be interested in finding out if there were any other children, brothers and sisters of Ferdinand.

I paid a professional researcher (I got his name from this site), who seemed genuine, but gave me only one useless piece of information I could have got myself from Ancestry and then I heard no more from him.

Any help would be very much appreciated.
