THE DOWNIE / DOWNEY
SURNAME IN UPPER and LOWER CANADA



I've only just started trying to set up these surname pages. If you are interested enough to check them out, does that mean that you possibly have ancestor info or resources that you would like to have listed on these (so far - nonexistant) pages?

I may some day set up pages something similar to my 'Kelly' pages with resources and "ancestors 'n researchers'" pages. As long as your ancestor lived in Upper or Lower Canada for some time during the 1700 - 1800's then I am REALLY interested in their origins! Send me an e-mail message so that we can get started on sorting out the various family groupings under these surnames! If you know of any other site containing these Cdn families let me know - I haven't found any yet during my surfing!

This site shall provide a place to post a brief note on your Downey ancestor in Upper or Lower Canada during the 1700 and 1800's. I can't possibly post all the info you send me, so I have probably omitted the bulk of your info - especially later generations; the purpose of this page is to expose your enquiry to others that may be researching the same family, or may have info for you. (You may perhaps wish to provide your mailing address for those without access to the internet, or incase your e-mail address becomes unavailable at some time in the future).

If you would like to have your info posted here, or if I have placed your information on this page, and you would rather not have it posted; please let me know


I am searching for Julia DOWNEY born about 1830 in Cork County. She married Daniel BUCKLEY about 1855, then they emigrated to Boston, MA about 1860. They lived, died, and are buried in Cambridge, MA. Thank you for any assistance you may be able to provide!
