Hi all,
I'm interested in contacting any Dowlings from Tullow with a view to sharing family history information.
My great grandmother was Eliza Dowling, born c1850, the daughter of Thomas Dowling from Tullow.
Eliza worked as a dairymaid for the Quinn family from Castledermot. She married the eldest Quinn son, Joseph and they settled in England.
I have Quinn information dating back to 1775 but haven't been able to discover anything about Eliza's Dowling family, so any help would be appreciated please.
Thanks to all who have taken the time to read my post.
Regards,
Trish
