Hi Thank you so much for your input. Could you provide a link to where you found this information? I cant find it in the church records of Irish Genealogy. Did they have any of there other children baptised? I could not find any only the civil registrations


It's a subscription website. The only other transcript of a baptismal record I can see is for Alexander Earls Douds, he was baptised in the same church on 26 April 1869.

Also noticed this transcript of a Dowds grave inscription in Richhill Presbyterian Church graveyard: In loving memory of father and mother: John, died May 9th 1882 aged 45; Sarah, died December 7th 1930 aged 91 Their children William: died December 6th 1876 aged 9; James, died December 19th 1876 aged 4; Mary, died July 16th 1896 aged 18; Henry, died July 1st 1916 aged 35 [at the Somme]; Edward, died November 28th 1961 aged 37; Alexander Earls, died August 1940 aged 71.

Are you allowed to name the site so I can chase this lead up? Thank you

Suggest trying a sub to RootsIreland http://rootsireland.ie/armagh/online-sources.php as they have baptism & headstone transcripts for Richhill from 1854.
