Re: Catholic Priest Fr. Malcolm Cowin

The original poster didn't ask for this information, possibly because it's already known or not relevant, but I can't resist:

There are obviously quite a few leads here to getting back further - and I have got two more generations of Dolamores in 1901 - but I probably shouldn't get too diverted here as I suspect no-one really wants to know!

If there is an IOM link to the name Cowin it seems to be before 1847. 'Spose I might find myself looking into that a bit more...
