Re: John Downes 1797
I don't know about John Bill's father though.
The IGI has
Francis Downs
christening: 1 June 1783 MUCH WENLOCK,SHROPSHIRE,ENGLAND
father: Wm. Downs
mother: Mary
Richard Downs
christening: 10 September 1786 MUCH WENLOCK,SHROPSHIRE,ENGLAND
father: William Downs
mother: Mary
John Bill Downes
christening: 13 June 1797 MUCH WENLOCK,SHROPSHIRE,ENGLAND
father: William Downes
mother: Mary
Marianne Downes
christening: 9 January 1799 MUCH WENLOCK,SHROPSHIRE,ENGLAND
death: 24 August 1800
father: William Downes
mother: Mary
William Downes
christening: 6 July 1800 MUCH WENLOCK,SHROPSHIRE,ENGLAND
death: 8 September 1800
father: William Downes
mother: Mary
but the first two might belong to a different couple? That 1841 census gave William aged 65 so he could have been born 1772-1776 and there are a few options baptised in Shropshire. Ipswich seems a bit far off.
