Biography

James was born about 1812. He was the son of Laurence Downey He passed away about 1890. Newry Catholic Parish records.....James is sponsor at his brother John's son's baptism. Downey-478 | Brendan Downey, Saturday, February 28, 2015.

I have not been able to trace James so don't know if he married and had children. There are several mentions of a James Downey in Newry Parish records but I can find no evidence to tie them to our family.

[A possible marriage may have occurred to Mary Collins on 7 Nov 1833, (witnesses James Campbell and Margaret Collins) but the only connection is that a Sarah Campbell was a sponsor for one of his brother Daniel's children.]
