James Dower - Brooklyn, New York

Hi, Dot.I live on Long Island and just last year my Dad got me interested in researching our family history.I have come across a James Dower in Brooklyn.Here's what I have on him.I hope that it's a match.
He died on 11 March 1910.Death cert. says born Jan/Feb 1844 in Nova Scotia.
Parents Robert and Margaret were from England.They came to US in 1850, to NYC in 1863.
The Brooklyn Directories have him living in the Williamsburgh section of Brooklyn, almost always on Union Ave.He had a stairbuilding business with a Charles Dower, born England in 1833.
When my great-grandfather Albert came from Ireland in 1869, he lived with this Charles.He was also a stairbuilder.Despite the differences in birthplace, I think there may well be a family connection between all three, but so far I can't get back far enough to figure it out.
Again, I hope that this is your lucky day, and that this info helps. Enjoy your day.Doug
