Many thanks for your speedy reply.
My Father in Law’s name was Thomas Jackson. He was born in 1911 at 16, East Row, Lowca.
He was baptised at Moresby church and the Baptism certificate gives the address as 16, East Row Lowca.
He is also listed on the 1911 census at 1 month old as living at 16 East Row, Lowca.
We also have a Jane Jackson on the 1911 Census living at 6, West Row, Lowca.
I did wonder if the street names may have changed over the years but I couldn’t find any reference to an East & West Row on any of the early maps.
I was slightly confused by the entries on the following website.
http://7borderandyeo.webs.com/WGP1.htmIf you search for “Lowca” within the webpage you will see Samual Agnew listed at 15, West Row and Joseph Boyles listed at 8, East Croft Terrace.
The reason for the individual names and numbering of East and West Croft Terrace is that East Croft Terrace was built first this is shown on the 1899 map on “Old Maps”.
Sadly the next map is 1925 and as expected West Croft terrace is shown it must have been built sometime before 1911.
I know Lowca quite well as we have had many trips over to that particular area researching family history.
Thanks again for your help.
Brian
