does he give his fathers name or occupation or any other details on his marriage certificate. 1881 census lists 3 John Lowe of approx the right age one is already married and the other 2 are boarder/logers so no family. have looked in 1871 and there are a number of possibilities but could do with knowing fathers name.

Donna...out of curiosity u could try parents William and Hannah. There is a John Lowe died Woolongong 1943 parents William and Hannah. No other John Lowe appears died Woolongong 1890-1945. No age but worth a try to c if anything comes up in your index under the right area.

Donna & Kris,
Thank you very much for the information on John Lowe.
Yes this would appear to be the right person.
Apart from being a relative through marrying Sarah Sloan, a William Sloan also built a ship "William 1V at Clarencetown near Newcastle N.S.W that Sarah's father Peter worked on and I am trying to see if there is a direct connection between the builder and John Lowe.
Thank you again for all your help.
