My family tree research has taken me back as far as my great-great-great-great grandfather, William Fowler born in Ireland 1760.
He married Jane Ross who was born around 1755 in County Down. They had 5 children:
Catherine, James, John, William and Robert; the latter of which was my ancestor who was born in 1805, Kirkcubbin, County Down.
Robert appears in the Scottish 1851 census living in Auchinleck, Ayrshire with his wife, their 9 children, and also his mother Jane who died shortly after in 1855 at the grand age of 100. Jane's death certificate notes that she was "6 years in this neighbourhood".
I can only presume, as Jane also emigrated to Scotland, that William must have died before 1849, possibly near Kirkcubbin, County Down. I am struggling to gain access to any records that could assist me. Any help would be much appreciated.
