1841 census would appear to show that Catherine was born c 1791 - if accurate this could mean anywhere between 1786 and 1791 as ages were supposes to be rounded down to the nearest 5

That same census says she was not born in Devon

FMP shows I have looked up McDowell, (Stoke Damerel, Plymouth) before.

There are numerous threads from Joyce re McDowell easily found by putting the name in Quick Search. I'm afraid there are enough to put me off looking to see if any in particular refer to William and Catherine. they go back to at least 2004 and come through to at least 2015

this is getting confusing again as the surnames and dates are different what is the correct one

Thanks for your help

Lol Joyce, you're confused, think it is enough to confuse all!.

Is that your William who died 1844, you must know as you have details from Cert., posted above, from another 'Thread'?.

If so, then don't you think that 1858 Catherine Death is her?, same address on 1851 Census, as William Death Cert., 57 Chapel Street.

(unless you have other Death details for Catherine?)

Chris :)

(with surname like Mcdowell. you will probably get many variants!. even Mcdonel, as could well be on 1812 Marriage)
