Hi
My 2nd great grandmother married a 'John Dowds' in 1895 at Banbridge Ireland. She would have been about 50 years old. This was a 2nd marriage for her and likely for him as well. Any chance there's a connection?
Cheers
Steve
Hello Steve,
thank you for your message
the above William Dowds and Susannah Morris married in New Zealand in 1912 when Susannah was 28 and William 41
If you know of any of your ancestors who emigrated to New Zealand we may be able to trace them to find a connection
