Westmeath / Sarah Balfe, born Abt.1907/8
« on: Thursday 12 April 12 04:16 BST (UK)  »
Hello, I'm trying to find any information on my grandmother's niece, Sarah Balfe born about 1907/8 in Westmeath. Sarah Balfe is the daughter of George Balfe and Julia ( Sheil ) Balfe.

I found young Sarah( age 3 ) living with relatives in the 1911 Census, the Dungan family in Castledaly. Sarah's mother, Julia (Sheil ) Balfe is living in Mount Temple as a Servant.

Sarah's father, George had traveled to Brooklyn, NY in 1909 to witness the marriage of his sister, Sarah Balfe to my grandfather. George did travel thru Canada to visit his sister Sarah a few times in the USA, but I wonder about the rest of the family, Julia and young Sarah.  Any information or direction would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Longford / John Dowd of Clongesh
« on: Monday 28 July 08 23:27 BST (UK)  »
Hello, I am researching the family of John Dowd, born abt 1818 and married Margaret ? , they lived in Co. Longford, Parish of Clongesh and the Townland of Cahanagh. I have been able to narrow the land to Property # 9 on the Griffth’s Valuation. At the time of the valuation, Margaret Dowd is listed as the Head of household.

In 1847, John and Margaret had a son John who married Margaret Hughes in 1872.

They had the following children: John and Margaret b. 1874, Elizabeth  b. 1876, Thomas b. 1882, Denis b. 1885 ( my grandfather ), and  MaryEllen b. 1889.

John Dowd married Mary Doherty in 1921. After this date, I have no other information.  I also do not have any information on Thomas or MaryEllen.

Thank you for any help with this, Ed
