Looking for any connections to the surnames BARLOW or DOWD. Thomas BARLOW was born in 1846, He married in Tubberoe, Glinsk in 1878 to first wife Maria DOWD. After she died, he second married in Derreen to Maria HYNES. In the 1901 census the family is found in Ballymoe; in the 1911 census they are found in Cloonfaghna.
Thomas' father was Patrick BARLOW. Maria DOWD's parents have not yet been discovered
By Maria DOWD, there were five children - Patrick, George, Mary Anne, Agnes and Ellen. The youngest four emigrated to te US.to the Baltimore, Maryland area. Whether the eldest, Patrick, emigrated or remained at home is not known. The children were born between 1878 and 1887.
By Maria HYNES, there were eight children - Mary Kathleen, Sarah, Elizabeth, Thomas, John Francis, Michael, James George and Edward. These children were born between 1890 and 1900. Several emigrated to the Baltimore area; several remained at home.
Will appreciate information anyone can provide regarding any member of this family.
Best regards,

Must be another Thomas Barlow family, given that the spouse is different. Possibly cousins, since both the Thomas Barlow you cite, and mine, are of the same age. Wonder if they are brothers' children. My Thomas Barlow's father was Patrick. I have no details on his spouse, but have identified siblings as George, Annie, Patrick and Mary, although not certain that list is necessarily complete. None of the siblings I have listed have children of the names you mention. Do you have any details about the parents of the Thomas you cite? I wonder if the father could be a brother to my Patrick.
Interesting that there is a marriage to a Dowd in the family you describe, likely nearby neighbors.
