Hello everyone,
We have been struggling to find details regarding our GG-uncle David McDowall for eons. All that we had is
that he was born in Creetown Scotland (abt 1857) and a Memorial Inscription in Creetown shows that he died
in Harrogate on Oct 26 1901 at age 44 and is interred at Lezarve Cemetary at Ramsay, Isle of Man.

We have recently come upon a newspaper clipping which indicates that he was "manager Manx Northern
Railway". The article appears to be in conjuction with a notice of death.

Of course Murray and his law are at us again because the date of publication of this article appears to be (from the index) August 11, 1900.

We would greatly appreciate any assistance or clarification on this.

Thank you very much from beautiful Vancouver Canada.
