Dowds in Roscommon
« on: Thursday 12 September 13 18:30 BST (UK) »
Hi there

I have the record of my great, great grandfather who was baptised in Fairymount Roman Catholic Church on 6th November 1858.

Hi name was Robert Dowd and his parents were called John Dowd and Margaret Hogg.

Roberts sister Mary was also baptised in the same church in 1857.

The family emigrated to Cheshire, England some time between 1858 and 1864.

I am desperate to hear from anybody from the same family or from anybody who can point me in the right direction to find the mariage record of John Dowd and Margaret Hogg in Ireland. Even if somebody can offer the slightest clue to their marriage or to where they lived would be amazing. I have really hit a brick wall with this and I am desperatly seeking some help.

Many thanks,

Adam.

It appears that the parish records only start in 1865, and that any records of a marriage c 1857 have been lost. That may make it very difficult to trace.
