Hi John,
  Nice sunny day here  :) 
 
  You just click "begin your search" and then into the search box labelled "keywords" just type ...
Francis Gilbert Dowling
  It  shows the 2 entries.
  To read the digitised contents click on the little bunch-of-papers to the right under "digitised item".

  There are 140 pages (!!) for Frank Junior. 

  (or pm me and I will send it  :) )

 regards,
   Ros

(love the images of a rain-soaked Edinburgh - the castle would look its best amid the mist and rain)
