Henry Lowe

[jkitchin]

I am trying to find either the baptism or marriage of Henry Lowe born c1789 in Ashton le Willow thus I would hopefully establish his parents. I have checked all the obvious parish records ie Winwick and Ashton in Makerfield. Post 1841 the family are in the Haskayne/Halsall area.

He married "Ann" and the only likely marriage match I can find is 21 Nov 1814 All Saints, Wigan, but I understand that the record does not show Henry's parents.

Any other ideas on how I can establish his parents would be greatly appreciated.

Hi

I don't think there was such a place as Ashton Le Willow although it's shown as his birthplace on the 1851 census

Newton Le Willows or Ashton in Makerfield are the likeliest

Given his birthyear - any marriage would be before Civil Registration (1837) so would not show his fathers name

1851 shows daughter Helen 22 b Downholland and 1841 shows her as Ellen aged 11.  Wife is Ann but see below

As the family were in the Ormskirk/Halsall area in 1841 - this is a possible for Ellen from the IGI but it is a submitted entry

ELLEN LOW  Christening:  30 AUG 1829   Aughton By Ormskirk, Lancashire
Father:  HENRY LOW   Mother:  NANCY

Hi

Wiki has it as an old name for Newton le Willows,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashton-in-Makerfield

Would Liverpool be too far out?

Lancashire OPC has a couple pf entries which would fit - they could have lived with her parents if they were in Liverpool.

Worth a thought?

Also a marriage, at Winwick, 3 July 1788,

Too far flung??

Sorry, looks as if he died.

Burial also there.

Sorry.  Emms.

Is it an exact date?

[emmsthheight]

The next one's at Black Rod.

Too far out?  27 Feb 1791 1st child of Edward and Ellen (F Hart) of Haigh.

There are a couple for unmarried mothers a couple of years later, 1794 at Upholland and Burtonwood.  Older child?  Also anolther to Henry and Mary 16 Mar 1794 at St Paul Independent, Wigan - 4th child, 2nd son.

Worth a play on the site?
