Title: 1861 Census Look up
Post by: adicol on Saturday 06 May 06 09:27 BST (UK)

Can anyone find a John Lowther age around 8 in the 1861 census.
Father was William Lowther aged around 33.

Many Thanks,

Colleen

I can see some that were born in Paisley, Yorkshire, do you have any idea where they may have been living or where born?

John was born in Faceby according to the 1881 census.
William in the Carlton area.
Hope this helps

Don't you just love these rellies!!  They seem to like hiding from us all,  I can see John in the 71 as a servant, also can see him on the 1901 as head of the household, but not as yet on the 61 >:(

I will keep looking

Hi Colleen

This might be his family in 1841 - though he's not with them

Faceby 1259/12/5

William LOWTHER, 55, Ag. lab, Y
Elizabeth, 45, N
George, 15, Y
Robert, 12, Y
John, 10, Y
Jane, 8, Y
Thomas, 6, Y
Henry, 4, Y
Margaret, 2, Y
Martha, 1, Y

Mistranscribed LAWLER
-------------------
and this could be him in 1841

Whorlton 1259/14/19

George LOUTHER, 12, MS

with John KITCHING, 36, and family

Faceby is in the parish of Whorlton.  There is an ancestral file for this Lowther family on www.familysearch.org - don't treat it as gospel but a good starting point.

Cheers
