Robert James Downie was born 12th March 1884 to James Downie and Maggie Savage:

Birth:
Name ROBERT JAMES DOWNEY
Date of Birth 1884

------------------------

Robert James married Sarah Graham (we still can't find the marriage). He and Sarah had two children- Robert James born 1905 and William born 1908 (William died the same year).

Sarah died in 1908, and Robert remarried Elizabeth/ Lizzie McMeekin in 1917.
----------------------------

Robert's first son (born 1905) married Dorothy Saunders in Dorset in 1932.

Robert James Downie and Lizzie also had another child- Joseph.

Joseph was born in 1921 and died just 17 days old on 20th November 1921.

The address was Factory View, Banbridge. His father, Robert, registered the death.

Ah thank you I thought I was going mad .lol

How sad

Still searching for the marriage between Rbt.Downie and Sarah Graham..It had to be sometime after April 1901..(she is on Census with her parents) and 1908 when she died but its being very elusive ....!!

Thank you so much for looking for me .I was thinking did they come to England to get married.
