Benjamin Thomas John Dowse was born circa 1900. He was the son of William Henry Dowse and Frances Henrietta Givens.
Benjamin died on 25 January 1921 in Waziristan, Pakistan. Wikipedia stated in Jan 2009: Waziristan Revolt (1919–1920). In the rugged and remote region of Waziristan on British India's northwest border with Afghanistan, mountain tribes of Muslim fighters gave the British Army a difficult time for decades. The Northwest Frontier is now part of Pakistan, which is fighting its own war against Waziri tribesmen in the early 21st century The Waziristan Revolt of 1919–1920 was sparked by the Afghan invasion of British India in 1919. Though the British quickly defeated the Afghans, the Waziri tribesmen gave the colonial forces a very difficult fight. Many of the Waziri men were veterans of the British-led and controlled Indian Army (India and Pakistan were combined at this time as part of the British Empire), and used modern military tactics and modern Lee Enfield rifles against the British and Indian forces sent into Waziristan. One aspect of this conflict is the effective use of air power against the Waziri fighters. This is similar to Royal Air Force tactics in suppressing the Arab Revolt in Iraq in 1920 and 1921.

RATHMINES AND RATHGAR TOWNSHIP/URBAN DISTRICT COUNCIL LIST 10:
Introduction: The following documents relate to property in the present Mount Pleasant Avenue and
Gulistan Avenue, Rathmines, which was held by widow Mary Halahan under a lease issued by the Earl of Meath for one hundred years in 1832. In this lease the property is described as “No. 8, part of Cullenswood”; after 1846, it is called “Gulistan” which may have been inspired by the epic work of that title written by the 13th century Persian poet, Sadi. The Gulistan was first translated in 1787 and proved to be very popular, with extracts being quoted frequently as proverbs (1).
Mary Halahan died in 1846 and bequeathed her interest in Gulistan to her unmarried daughters, Jane, Dorothea and Lucy Halahan (see UDC/1/10/2, below). The Halahan sisters issued building leases to their sister-in-law Mrs. Sophy Halahan, which resulted in six houses being erected at Gulistan Avenue (see UDC/1/10/3, below); and to their sister Mrs. Augusta Fitzsimons, who built two fine villas which are still standing, Aubrey Cottage and Mosaphir Cottage (see UDC/1/10/4 and 6, below). The Meath lease was later bequeathed by the Halahan sisters jointly to their nephew Christopher, son of their brother Hickman Rose Halahan; and to their niece Mary, daughter of their brother Samuel Handy Halahan and wife of Richard H. Dowse. After 1880, the Dowses took out several mortgages on Mary’s interest in the property, to which she had to affirm her voluntary consent, an acknowledgement of the improved status of married women. In 1891, the Commissioners of Rathmines and Rathgar purchased the Halahan
family’s interest in Gulistan, with a view to the erection of artisan dwellings on the site (see UDC/1/Mins. 1/6, pp 293, 338). The documents which are contained in list 10 came into the possession of the Commissioners together with the property at that time.
This descriptive list was prepared in 1982 and portions of it were drawn up by Rose Doyle and Norma Foley, as part of work-experience while studying for the Diploma in Archival Studies at University College Dublin.

Gulistan Avenue, Rathmines, which was held by widow Mary Halahan under a lease issued by the Earl of Meath for one hundred years in 1832. In this lease the property is described as “No. 8, part of Cullenswood”; after 1846, it is called “Gulistan” which may have been inspired by the epic work of that title written by the 13th century Persian poet, Sadi. The Gulistan was first translated in 1787 and proved to be very popular, with extracts being quoted frequently as proverbs (1).
Mary Halahan died in 1846 and bequeathed her interest in Gulistan to her unmarried daughters, Jane, Dorothea and Lucy Halahan (see UDC/1/10/2, below). The Halahan sisters issued building leases to their sister-in-law Mrs. Sophy Halahan, which resulted in six houses being erected at Gulistan Avenue (see UDC/1/10/3, below); and to their sister Mrs. Augusta Fitzsimons, who built two fine villas which are still standing, Aubrey Cottage and Mosaphir Cottage (see UDC/1/10/4 and 6, below). The Meath lease was later bequeathed by the Halahan sisters jointly to their nephew Christopher, son of their brother Hickman Rose Halahan; and to their niece Mary, daughter of their brother Samuel Handy Halahan and wife of Richard H. Dowse. After 1880, the Dowses took out several mortgages on Mary’s interest in the property, to which she had to affirm her voluntary consent, an acknowledgement of the improved status of married women. In 1891, the Commissioners of Rathmines and Rathgar purchased the Halahan
family’s interest in Gulistan, with a view to the erection of artisan dwellings on the site (see UDC/1/Mins. 1/6, pp 293, 338). The documents which are contained in list 10 came into the possession of the Commissioners together with the property at that time.
This descriptive list was prepared in 1982 and portions of it were drawn up by Rose Doyle and Norma Foley, as part of work-experience while studying for the Diploma in Archival Studies at University College Dublin.

Anna Doyle was also known as Anne in records.
Anna Wheeler (1785-1848) was the daughter of Nicholas Milley Doyle, prebendery of Fennor parish, Tipperary, and Anna Dunbar; her godfather being the Irish politician Henry Grattan. Her two brothers were Charles and John and her one sister Bessie. In 1800 he married Francis Massy Wheeler, a landowner who spent his days hunting and his nights drinking. Only 2 of their children survived infancy: Henrietta & Rosina. Wheeler left her drunken husband in 1812, taking her sister and daughters with her, and went to Guernsey, where they lived with her uncle, General Sir John Doyle, governor of the island mingling with emigres of the French Revolution. She rejected a proposal of marriage from the Duc de Bouillon, cousin to the French kings. Wheeler moved to Caen in France in 1816 where she became part of a circle of radical thinkers and gained a reputation as
Goddess of Reason'. On the death of her estranged husband in 1820, Wheeler went to London, meeting the utilitarian philosopher Jeremy Bentham and the cooperative thinker Robert Owen. In 1822 Bentham introduced he to the Irish landowner and socialist William Thompson. Together they produced Appeal of one half of the human race, Women, against the Other Half, Men (1825), published under Thompson's name. While in Parish 1823, Wheeler met Charles Fourier who greatly admired her and probably coined the term 'feminism' with her in mind. In her role as transnational mediator, Wheeler disseminated his ideas with Owenite circles as well as co-operating with Owen's follower Marc-Antoine Jullien through a mutual support for Greek independence .... a staunch activist for women's rights, writing speeches and articles published under the pseudonym 'Vlasta' in the cooperative press. She died at the height of the European revolutions of that year in a flat in Camden High Street, London, surrounded by women comrades and her brother John.
