William DOWNES
Set As Default Person -

From New South Wales convict index (citation [4/4343; Reel 1001])
Died - The information in the NSW deaths index varies. The earlier records have an age but no relations named. Of these, William might be the one who died in 1850 aged 45 (reg. no. V1850775 36A/1850)
Since I don't know the names of William's parents I can't tell if he might be one of the later ones.

Family Mary Ann VOGWELL, bap. 2 Feb 1816, St. Andrew’s Church, Buckland Monachorum, Devon, England
, d. Yes, date unknown Married 1839 New South Wales, Australia
- NSW Govt Index shows Downes, William married Vogwell, Mary A in district CJ. Registration no. V1839134 23B/1839
I'm not sure if William and Mary had any children.
The births of 3 children to a William and Mary Downes were registered in the period 1839 - 1866, as shown here.
With 2 such common Christian names and a surname far from rare it's possible these were the children of a different William and Mary but there was no other marriage of a William Downes in NSW in the years 1830-1839.
