Lowther in Westmoreland

[rob g]

Hi. I have covered most of my family tree. But as ever some loose ends. my ancestor Peter Mitchell. B. Bolton 1831..wed mary Louther/lowther. Spellings alter. Born Yorkshire. 1833/4. she married him at st. Mary's church bury. 1852. On cert. her father. There Present. Was Robert Louther. Earthenware dealer. She was baptized along side her sister ann. in st Mary's bury  In 1835/6.  After she was married. To Peter Mitchell. she called  a daughter called Rebecca. It's a name that we dont find in the family much. Looking for Robert Louthers marriage. The only marriage I have came across with his name Robert lowther. Around 1830s.  was to a Rebecca young. it was at heversham. St Peter's church. 1828. The date would fit. And account for the daughter being called Rebecca.  There's lots of travellers called lowther in ulveston. And  The surnames are both travellers names. But I can't find any occupations  or census data. or further info. Any help would be appreciated. Regards rob

There is something in the British Newspaper archives about Mr Robert Lowther, Earthenware Dealer.

Wondering what the event was in 1869, a death perhaps? Did he die in Hanniston near Hawkshead, Cumbria?

Is Robert Lowther earthenware dealer still alive in 1871 census?

This could be his death registration in 1869? Freebdm

Here is a Rebecca Lowther (widow, nee young) marriage

Marriage: 17 Jul 1837 St Nicholas, Liverpool, Lancashire, England
William Veary Earthenware dealer (a minor)
Rebecca Lowther Earthenware dealer, (a Widow)
Groom's Father: William Veary, Earthenware dealer
Bride's Father: James Young, Earthenware dealer

A William Varey was a witness at Jane Lowthers marriage to Charles Howarth in 1851
   
If this is Rebbeca Young who married Robert Lowther in 1828, was that Robert Lowther deceased after Ann's baptism 1835 but before 1837?

There must be a reason why the Lowthers don't appear in a census
