Dowling, J. N. Gran’dames and Grandmammas Birmingham:
1900. 4to. Soft Covers. Good Unpaginated 26pp typescript selected by
the author from “the larger collection....as being of especial interest to
his kinsman F.N. Butler.....” The author has signed this statement. The text
consists of two sections the first on the life of Elizabeth(?) Sheridan
(1618-16—) & the second on the life of Catherine Burrows (1771-1846).
The former tells of a “true romance” connected with the Irish Rebellion
of 1641. Catherine Burrows was born in 1771 in England. After her
father’s death in 1773 she was taken by her mother to Dublin where she
spent the greater part of her life. An unpublished work & a fascinating
glimpse of Butler, Brooke & Dowling family history. While the author
refers to a larger piece of work we have found no record of anything
published. A rare & indeed possibly unique item
