Hi Weechaz,

Welcome to RootsChat


RootsChat is meant for finding ancestors, rather than living relatives.

People here will be able to give you general tips and hints how to proceed, but not any concrete details.

You will also find more tips here:

Hi Weechaz,

I have approx 70 Lowes in my tree,42 of which are from Stranraer.
I also have 40 Allisons,again from Stranraer.

The wife and I reckon the guy in the middle of your photo is a Lowe as he has a striking resemblance to her father.

Unfortunately,the father in law lost contact with the Stranraer side of the family when his father died in 1963 and the last record for an Allison that I have is a death in 1946.

Keep posting Weechaz then if you want we can PM.

Regards
Brian

Hi Weechaz,

Need to get one more post from you so that we can PM.
Just hope that I can help you in some way.

You said that your dad was not from Stranraer,but are you
living there?

The wifes father knows that some of the Lowes moved to Ayr in the 50's.

Regard
Bemac
