Hi,
I so need help. I am trying to trace my Great grandfather.
He died 1955, under the name Joseph Thomas Dowd, had my Grandfather Herbert in 1911, under the name Thomas Dowd, married his wife Ada Taggart 1893 under Thomas Dowd,wedding certificate saying his father was Richard. All of this Liverpool.His date of birth points to 1869ish>
I cannot trace a birth I am happy with, there is a Joseph Dowd Preston1872, BMD,is that not too far away? Then on the Mormon site, a great birth Joseph Dowd Nov 1867, father Richard, mother Mary, cannot find a record of this else where. I loved this one, until I tried to confirm this with the census records, there is a Mary Dowd with a Joseph T Dowd Toxeth Park 1871, but she is a widow, and tracing her back she was a widow on the 1861 census before my Joseph or Thomas was born.(I got the Mary and Richard Marriage certificate)
The plot thickens now! This Mary Dowd who married Richard, was formerly called Mason, but it seems she remarried and became Mary Morris,(she married Nathaniel Morris in 1872.) But on the 1881 census it looks as if my Thomas reappears with Nathaniel and Mary, under the name Morris.
I am just hoping someone can help or point me in the right direction, I am very new to this
Thank You
