Hi Gadget.
James Lowden and Sarah Bostock were married 15April 1828 at Saddleworth, York, which was Sarah's place of residence. We have no info on James' origins.
Thanks for your interest, Lyn

I tried to follow the above instructions to send Eliza a personal message, but this seems to have changed since then and that option wasn't available.

My husband and children are descended from a Robert Lowden, son of James and Sarah nee Bostock, born in Spotland, Nearerside, County of Lancaster, 1843, and who emigrated with his parents and sister, Emma, on the "Donald Mackay" to Melbourne, Australia in 1863. His two older brothers John and William had previously emigrated, in 1850 and 1857.
I have no information to suggest that this family originated in Scotland, other than my husband's father always asserting that he was a Scotsman, despite being second generation Australian. 
Can anyone help me track this family back any further than James and Sarah. If Eliza and Boo07 are still checking, is there any chance our families are connected?
