Armagh (county)
looking for the family of Thomas McDowell from Portadown, Co., Armagh.He left for USA in 1880 at the age of 30-33.Would like to know if he was married berore he left and if he had parents and siblings?
My great grandfather was a Thomas McDowell from Portadown who left for Canada about 1880. His wife Rachel died young and he emigrated with one of his daughters, Rose. My grandmother, although only about 6 years old, refused to go and was brought up by uncles in Ireland. I know Rose was living in Canada in 1891 but not with her father. She married and brought up a family there. I have always wondered what happened to Thomas so it would be wonderful if you knew the end of the story - very possible he moved to USA.
