Richard Dowding was my 3x great grandfather. All of this info and more is on my family tree on ancestry uk. It includes a bigamous marriage to a Mary Ann O'Callaghan and the old bailey transcript of his trial for bigamy. He married her under the name of Richard Dawding. His sister Emily was the main witness at his trial.
