Henry Lowe

[Mary34]

I am trying to find the birth and the marriage of Henry Lowe.   He had several children, one of whom is Thomas Arthur Lowe who married Agnes Christina Wood.    I cannot find Henry's birth or parents and I cannot find Thomas Arthur's birth.   Am wondering if anyone is able to assist me.   It is believed that Henry Lowe established the drapery business of Lowe and Moorhouse Drapery Ltd.   Don't know whether that is of any help.   Through census I have found that (if I am on the right track) Henry had 6 children, but I am not sure about this.    The only thing I am sure of is that Henry's son Thomas Arthur married Agnes Christina Wood in 1911.   any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
Am sorry about the dates, but my info has no dates for Henry and I think Thomas was born about 1874.  I only know for sure that Thomas Arthur the son died July 1933.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I also should have said that I do know that the family were from the Yorkshire, Northumberland area and Thomas Arthur was a draper.
