Records on Ancestry[edit]

I had a look for Downes on Ancestry and if I found the right person, he was born 28th August 1905 in Chicago and died 25th May 1979 in Phoenix. Various records for this person include censuses and a draft card from WWII where the description matches that given in the article. It also gives his birthplace as Chicago and his place of residence as Phoenix. Skycloud86 (talk) 22:24, 20 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Appreciate it skycloud. Does fit the time and place. He may have transferred from Notre Dame. Cake (talk) 03:16, 21 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
