Smyth Downey Castlewellan Down Ireland

Hi,

Looking for anyone with information on Patrick Smith who had 2 children with Jane Downey called James circa 1871 and Patrick, born down Ireland. James worked in Castlewellan on Lord Ansley's Estate prior to moving to Ayrshire Scotland circa 1901. He married a Margaret Dobbins in Scotland in 1902.

His mother Jane died BF 1902 , father Patrick & brother Patrick, who married Sarah Kelly in 1910 down, were registered on the 1911 castlewellan census. Unsure if Patrick and Sarah had any children as they had none on the 1911 census. If anyone knows of any children and could provide details on any living family members, James's family here in Scotland would be grateful.

The names Hugh, Patrick , James and Henry seem to run in the family.

Please... we know nothing more about this family in Ireland.

Thank you.

Catrina.
