Hi
My maiden name is Lowe, and I've been researching the name for a while now and have found my family back to Essex 1849 (Thaxted) / Cambridgeshire 1761 (Fen Ditton), and was wondering whether anyone else here has researched this family at all?

Yes, the Lowe family are linked to the Sennitt family from Stretham in Cambs. One of my Grandfathers had 3 marriages, the 2nd being to Mary Lowe in 1798, his 3rd wife was Eleanor Money from whom i'm descended. He had about 7-9 children from his last 2 marriages!! If u want any more info, hopefully i can help. Let me know.

Hi Margaret
Thanks for your message, I'd so love any information on the Lowe family that you have please! :)
My own "online" research has taken me back to Robert Lowe, born 1823 in Fen Ditton, he was a miller and he had two marriages. One to a Elizabeth Lowton and the next one to a Caroline, who was a widow and her married name was Darby.
Look forward to hearing from you

Hello Christine
I have just been sent a 6 page family tree and altho i haven't put it all together yet. I believe there is a Thomas Sennitt 1810-1890 m. Eliza Phillips 1835, they had 4 children, one of them being Geo.Lowe 1844-1932(Lowe being his middle name, i think) which usually means that one of his ancestors was a Lowe, as mine was a Money which they carried on as a 2nd name, he m. Mary Ann Murfitt in 1865. I have a book on Stretham, Cambs. and it lists the Lowes' as Daniel, Edward, George, Harry, Minnie, Percy, Rosetta & William. It would seem that we are all descended from a Francis Sennitt m. Damaris Reed b.1685 who had 7 children before she (Damaris) died, one being John 1719-c1801, who had son John (amongst others) 1743-1798 m. Jane Hitch 1768-81 & they had 8 children, John then married Martha Dimmock in 1782 & has 2 more children Like i say i have only just received this and hopefully have given u the right info. Also Francis above married again to Elizabeth and had 3 children before she died. I believe he came from Cottenham, Cambs, and am trying to trace him at the moment on this board.
Hope that all makes sense. I know i haven't mentioned the Robert that u have but he'll turn up on one of my other trees.
Regards Margaret.
