Trying to find Dowling

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

I am trying so hard to find my Granny's family. She was Alice Maude Dowling, born in Dublin in 1885 She had two brothers William Dowling and Richard Valentine Dowling, known as Val. They were all brought up in the Medway ~Towns, Kent. Her father was in the Royal Engineers, hence the temporary move to Ireland. Then they went to Aldershot. Both brothers were in the Army, at least for a while. William married Constance Rebecca Stewart (Bec) and I don't know who Val married. But both had children and lived somewhere in the South East. Their father (also Richard,) was born in Freemantle Australia, son of William and Rachel. If anyone can help me with any of this, I would be grateful. I have some cousins out there somewhere! I've seen a photo of them as children born in about 1913! P;ease help. Angela W.
