James Edward Dowley
1806 - Bef 1855 (< 49 years)-
Name James Edward Dowley [1, 2] Born 1806 Southwark, Surrey, England [1] Gender Male Died Bef 10 May 1855 [3] Notes - Frederick Nicholson DOWLEY was baptised on 17 May 1829 at St Mary’s Church, Broadwater (which was then the parish that included the developing seaside hamlet of Worthing). His parents are described in the records as James DOWLEY (‘Gentleman’) and Harriet.
The DOWLEYs must have remained in Worthing for a while, as evidenced by Frederick Nicholson’s brother James Edward DOWLEY getting married to a Harriet Frances CLEMENTS on 27 March 1830 at St Mary’s Church, Broadwater. James Edward appears in an old Worthing directory with his wife as follows:
In the Worthing section of Pigot’s National Commercial Directory for 1832-34 (Sussex), there are various trades listed, but under the heading ‘Miscellaneous’ we find:
Mrs Harriet F DOWLEY professor of music, Chapel Road
James Edward DOWLEY musical repository, Chapel Road
Furthermore in the Sun Fire Insurance records for 7 December 1836, listed in MS 11936/551/1238424 (Guildhall Library), we find: James Edward Dowley, Great Terrace fronting the Esplanade, Worthing, Sussex
By 1841, however, the widowed Harriet DOWLEY and some of the unmarried children are back in the London area (Russell Place, Peckham, Surrey)
