Help needed to sort my family out Please !!!

[scoobysue]

Hi ,

I have been researching my dads family , who lived in middlesbrough.

I have got info on my dad and grandad, also gr grandad and his second wife from 1889 up to 1906, but cannot find anything before 1889.

His name was john lowrie/lowery/lowrey(any spellings ) b1851 in newcastle ,  on his 2nd marraige cert it states that john's father was also named john , was deceased occ was a caster .

on census (1889-1901) john b1851 occupation was engineman or steam engineman also steamcrane driver .

Can anyone please help i am running out of time and just dont know how to link john back any further .
Regards
Sue

So - was your grandad a son of John Lowry's first or second marriage? His birth cert will clarify that.

Do you know his first wife's name? Or when she died? Finding that will help locate him in previous censuses.

Dont try and run before you can walk!
You say you are 'running out of time' - but genealogy is not a quick hobby!

PS you say he was born 1851 in Newcastle. Have you found his birth, or is this just an estimation from the 1901 census details?

Have you got access to the 1881 census - how about this chap who was a Lodger, and a Steam Engineman ...

RG11/4903; Folio: 7; Page: 7 - Chilton, Stockton District

will need to go back to find him with parents ...

In 1881 census there is a John Lowrey, born approx 1851 as age 30, born in Durham, who is a steam engineman. He is  living at Dean Bridge Chilton as a Lodger with the Hodgson family

Hi both ,
I am looking for John Lowrie b1851 , i have his marraige cert to Hannah Maria Jones nee french (this was there 2nd marraige) .

I am having lots of problems as all census state different birth place , i have got the info of john been a lodger , and there is a strong possibility that is him .

I cannot find any reference to his 1st marraige , I do know that johns father was named john also , i have spent weeks looking thru ancestry for a john b1851 with father named john .
I seem to be going round in circles .

I have been doing this tree mainly for my mum as a birthday present in sept she will be 83 and has not been well lately thats why i said i am running out of time .

Ps , born in newcastle was from the 1901 census .

Perhaps you can get in touch with revmother2 as you may be related to her friend, and see what else she found out
Hope this helps, Barbara
