There was another John McDowall death in Stoke Dameral in 1845 - could it be that one she wants?

John was probably buried in Stoke Damerel - but you'll probably never find a record of it.


The man who died in 1845 was aged 89 :

MCDOWELL, JOHN 89
GRO Reference: 1845 J Quarter in STOKE DAMEREL Volume 09 Page 284

That one was born even earlier - 1756 !!

So many McDowell threads posted by Joysie/Joyce..................at least 30.
Check them before using your time to look for info

Joysie -

As you'll know, the age of anyone who died 1837 - 1866 isn't given on FreeBMD - but it is shown on the GRO site:

www.gro.gov.uk


Unfortunately, you've been under the wrong impression that John died in 1849 since at least 2004, according to some of your previous threads:

Admittedly, the GRO site wasn't searchable at that time, but it has been for several years now, and is invaluable.

For a birth, it also gives you the mother's maiden surname - also invaluable.
