...and  David Downey??   

If there was a David Downey, and a David Downing

then they are probably different people, (as per your question.)

Teach a man to research, and you feed him for a lifetime.

I can't seem to find a David Downey in 1901/1911. Catherine was there in 1901, but in 1911 she isn't, which makes me think it is the same Catherine who married Bernard Convery in 1903, I just wanted to be sure I was onto the right track here.

So there are Downeys and Downings there 1901.

I did a random search for Downey's in 1901/1911 and found a Henry & Teresa Downey, living in Rocktown, Lavey. So I searched for their marriage which took place in 1888 in Termoneeny and on the certificate Henry is listed as Downey, his father John, is a Downing, and a Francis Downing was a witness.

So it seems there is confusion there also.

Groom's signature was Downing. Name was repeated on signature line. Marriage has been indexed as Downing. Bride's surname also had 2 spellings. She didn't sign her name.  ::)

Downing and Downey are used interchangeably in this area  ;)
