Welcome to Rootschat. Most recent available Irish census (1911) is online (free). This looks like Sarah (do you have her father's occupation from marriage certificate?)-

You can also search for Hugh Lowry in that census-

In the Ulster Covenant of 1912, a total of 9 men named Hugh Lowry signed.  One signed in England, albeit was born in Belfast. It may be worth following through and cross referencing these 9 with the 1911 census.

Thanks for that, my grandfather Hugh Lowry was a Catholic, his father Hugh according to his wedd cert was Church of Ireland, so i thought his father also Hugh would be the same not Presbyterian, is it possible he changed religion? see below, its my Great Great Grandfather Hugh I am having difficulty tracing
