Not sure what info you wanted, but this is what I found ;)
Reverend Jeremiah and Anne Lowe had the following children:
Ann Sarah born 6 Oct 1793
Mary Emma born 13 Jan 1795
Jeremiah born 25 Oct 1796
Richard Grove born 20 Dec 1801
There is a record of a family plot in St Michaels Churchyard with the following memorial:
"Richard Grove LOWE Esqre/ youngest son of the late/ Reverend Jeremiah LOWE/ and Anne his wife/ died June 28th 1872/ aged 70/ 'The memory of the just is blessed'/ also of Mary Emm widow of the late/ George SEARANCKE Esqre/ youngest daughter of the above/ died July 21st 1873/ aged 78"
Reverse side:
"The Revd Jeremiah LOWE/ for 34 years Rector of Great/ Saxham, Suffolk and for 33 years/ a Magistrate of St Albans/ eldest son of Jerh LOWE Esq of Coventry and his wife Hannah/ only daughter of William/ GROVE Esqr Representative/ in Parliament for the same city/ obit 25 Aug 1829 aetat (?) 60/ and of/ Anne widow of the above named/ Revd Jeremiah LOWE/ obit 15 Sept 1852 aetat 83"
St Michaels is not far from where I live, so let me know if you want a photo and I'll try and find the actual grave.
Also found the parish record for Ann Sarah's marriage to John Weldale Knollys - he is listed as 'of St Marys, Lambeth, Surrey' Her sister Mary Emma Lowe was a witness at the wedding, as was Suzanna Weldale.
Didn't find any references to Jeremiah (other than his birth date 25/10/1796)
Hope this helps. Let me know if there is something else in particular you were after and I'll have another look.

Thank you so very much for all your kind help, wonderful stuff you found, I am in Australia so perhaps a photo of the grave is beyond you. I wish I could find out more on John Weldale Knollys who married Ann Sarah in 1812, he was born in Hitchin but I can't find anything about his family anywhere or even Susanna Weldale. Rev. Jeremiah Lowe married Ann Sarah and John Weldale Knollys. Kind regards, Whisky

No problem :)
I'll see if I can find the grave when I get a chance, preferrably when it's not so cold!! (Snow on the way tonight)

Hello Julie,
Many thanks, I hear the snow is something awful - would you be able to find out if Rev Jeremiah Lowe's wife Ann was Ann nee Benbow.
I am descended from their daughter Ann Sarah. kind regards, whisky

Haven't managed to get your photo YET, but will try and get there this week. I did find Jeremiah and Anne burial records in the parish register. Not much info, I'm afraid but every snippet helps ;D
Revd Jeremiah Lowe was buried 1st Sept 1829
Anne Lowe was buried 22 Sept 1852. She was listed as living in St Peters Street, St Albans.

Can't remember whether I sent you a PM, but in case I didn't:
I have taken the photo of Jeremiah Lowe's gravestone. It is in a lovely spot right next to the church surrounded by flat graves, so it really stands out. If you send me a PM with your email I can send you the photos I took.
One interesting thing about St Michaels church that I found when I was there - the church path is made of old broken gravestones - slightly odd :o
There's a small picture of part of it at this link:

To 'Whisky'. Are you still around? Your last post was more than 13 years ago! I'm researching Jeremiah Lowe in his role as rector of Great Saxham (where I live). As you are related to him, I wonder if you have gathered any more information? It appears that he was an 'absentee rector', because he lived in St Albans where he was a magistrate for 33 years! He employed curates at Great Saxham instead.
Hope to hear from you. Cheers, Bob Jones ('Gopherit')

Hi Bob, Sorry but I don't have any further information on Jeremiah Lowe, only birth, death and marriage records. Perhaps church records somewhere?? or newspapers - I used to find lots on the British Newspaper Archives when it was free, but you have to pay for any info now. Wish I could have helped you, best wishes, Jill - whisky

Hi Whisky - thanks for replying! I've gleaned quite a lot from the BNA (I pay for unlimited access). Would you like me to send you all I've got on him? I'd also be grateful if you could show me how you are linked to him.
Best regards, Bob
