| NOTES No early records of the Dowson family in Christchurch New Zealand. The first listing was in the 1938 Electoral Roll. Knox Dowson 16 Norwood St 1940 Wises Directory Knox Dowson Mgr 41 Estuary Rd 1941 Electoral Roll. Knox Dowson 13 Graham St 1943 Electoral Roll. Knox Dowson Factory Mgr 23 Estuary Rd Iris Dowson Married 23 Estuary Rd 1950 Wises Directory Knox Dowson Slipper Manufacturer 125 Sumner Rd 1953 Wises Directory Knox Dowson " 19 James St 1960 Electoral Roll Knox Dowson Director 19 James St Iris Georgina Dowson married 19 James St Margaret Irene married 18 James St Peter Robert Prison Officer 18 James St Keith William Knox Managing Director 7 Wakatu St Dolly married 7 Wakatu St With no record of Christopher or Keith born in NZ or marriage of Knox and Iris I am assuming that they arrived in NZ about 1937/38, as Peter was born in 1938,and with them was Knox's elderly father also named Knox who died a few years later. Where were they from? I have also found a Knox Dowson born in 1871 in Tranent,East Lothian, Scotland |
