John DOWDE & Mary Eve DADE
Looking for descendeants of John DOWDE & Mary Eve DADE, married 31 October 1810, St James Pockthorpe, Norwich, norfolk, England.
Children included: Thomas b 1815, d 1880,William George Longfield b 1816, Cashel County, Ireland whilst his father was in the army over there.Seems they were a military family.William died in the Battle of Sebastipol, Crimea, France.Another child, George b 1820.We know zero about him! I'm sure that there are others.
At least one branch of the Dowde family emigrated to America.
I descend from William George Longfield Dowde, who married Sophia Hannah Anderson in Chambly, Quebec and returned with her to his home in England. He was posted with the Kings dragoons and found himself a Canadian wife.
Any researchers come across Dowde, with an e on the end.Seems that the forum is full of Dowd, Dowds & Doud etc.Would be terrific to find some Dowde cousins out there!
