Is this the family? Just wondering if William is his older brother, or just Margaret's son? |

Jan ,yes this is correct family ,but tried passengers list passport list for around 1850 onwards to see if Margaret Brown was in Italy when James was born there or to find when William went out there but to no avail William married Margaret in Callender Scotland 1869 if serves me correct. |

So if that is the correct family in 1881 at 6,Orchard Grove then all the info I put is correct. |

William and Margrete, sorry wrong year off mariage was 26/12/1868 Callandar in Scotland have ordered marriage cert to confirm if William was a widower on the cert and confirm Williams parents hopefully., am sure this will still not sort who the mother was to James Francies Dowse though born in Italy 1866,there seems to be a gap inbetween the years for passport registrations 1862 till 1870s .thanks to all for help |

Merv...I dont have any idea from what has been posted as to Williams occupation but it may have been a possibility that he was out in La Spezia during the time of the building /consruction of La Spezia Harbour....(it was a combined British and Italian operation)..Have you looked at British Consular Births..? |

hI ,he was a Blacksmith so possibly a ggod reason to be out there thank you will check British Consular births seems i have tried every where else but there.I have been doing tree since 2000 both mine and the wifes and must admit it can be very trying (worse if tracing 2 trees),So i have spells where leave it for ages then get stuck back in.Not sure if others have same problem but i can get back to about 1750 with my fathers side and mothers side then seem to draw a lot of blanks. Thanks for info regards Merv |
