I am trying to locate any relatives of John McGowan of Sweetwood Upper & his wife Margaret McGowan formerly Moran. I can't find any living relatives or family. I believe that their are two daughters and possibily one or two sons. Bridget Mcgowan one of the daughters died in Australia aged aprox 21 in 1954. Any help would be appreciated.
