Title: Lowther's in Hull
Post by: Green-Bowler on Thursday 17 December 15 10:03 GMT (UK)
My grandfather was Tom Galloway Lowther b: 1888: my grandmother was Alice Elizabeth Bell b: 1889
Children were:
Tom Lowther b: 1915, Alice Lowther b: 1911, Doris Lowther b: 1912, Patricia Lowther b: 1922, Violet Lowther b: 1923, Martha Lowther b: ? All were born in Sculcoates, Hull.

I have been unable to trace any descendants of any of my aunts and uncles, or even if they had children, my cousins?

I really would like to get in touch with my cousins or even their children..

Where have you looked? Have you checked FreeBMD for marriages, and then for births?
Have you looked for any Wills that may mention children?

Also, you may first want to check the births for those you have lisred

I see Violet is Jul/Aug/Sep 1923, but MArtha is Ap/May/Jun 1922, and I cant see a Patricia around that time at all.
Alice A is OCt/Nov/Dec 1911 (middle initial might be useful when looking for marriage)

I can see one birth in Oct/Nov/Dec 1933 in Sculcoates for a Thompson with mums maiden name Lowther - may well be a child of this marriage. Cant post more, as may still be alive.

Did you forget that you already have asked about this family?

Thank you Liz, It's the live ones I am trying to contact as I can't find any living offspring of my aunts?

Have you established there are any "live" ones?
To do that, surely you have to research, working forwards in time from the known "dead" ones!

Have you checked the places I listed in my first post?
