Does anybody have access to the Parish registers of Gt. Yarmouth?
Am searching for the baptism entry of Samuel Dowson b. abt. 1794 and also James Dowson b. abt. 1816. I need to know who the parents were.
Can anybody help me?

Did James marry?

Was it after 1837?

If so, and he knew his father, the name and occupation will be on the marriage cert
