Info wanted on Mr J.Lowe who lived in Patterdale, he was a photographer and painter.
-
Hi Elizann,
A warm welcome to RootsChat! Do you have any dates, even approximate ones, for Mr Lowe?

Hello Elizann,
Like Nanny Jan I would also like to wish you a very warm welcome,
is this the Mr Lowe you could be referring to?
1901 census:
RG13/4906, folio 81, page 8
Westmorland, Patterdale
Joseph Lowe, h. single, 35, Landscape Photographer, b. Lancashire, Rusholme
Living alone and I'm sorry I can't quite make out the address - it appears to be something Bridge?
Kind regards,
Pels

Hopefully this isn't a coincidence and there are two of them - yours and this one! :)
1891 census:
RG12/4327, folio 84, page 4
Westmorland, Patterdale
Home Farm Shanty
Joseph Lowe, h, single, 25, Artist, Photographer, Landscape Painter, b. Lancashire, Rusholme
Again living alone.
Regards,
Pels

Thank you for your help in my research, I have a few postcards by Mr Lowe and will post one on rootschat for you to see.
-
Elizann - that is beautiful - thankyou so very much! Joseph
was obviously an extremely talented and gifted gentleman!
I'm not sure whether or not you might be interested - but from
time to time there have been various threads here on RootsChat
for people to share their postcards .. .. .. ..
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,226038.0.html
If you would like to attach more, myself and others would love to
see them!
Do you have any copies of his artwork that you could also share
with us?
Pels :)
-
I do not have any of his paintings.
I collect old postcards and will post any on rootschat that would be of interest. Please let me know of any subjects or places that you would like to see.
-
Any unusual ones would be of interest if you collect them - it would be nice if you could post a few of your favourites!
You decide :)
-
Sorry I see that this is an old post but Mr Lowe used to live in an old house Deepdale a hamlet in Patterdale Parish.
-
Interested to hear from you
-
Regarding Mr Lowe I can't tell you a great deal, my father knew of him but never actually met him. After his death when his house was sold my father did the building work for the new owner.
He did take a number of photographs around the parish which I have seen.
-
When Mr Lowe died did Jessie his wife move or did she remain in the cottage at Deepdale.
She died in the 1970s.
-
My father did not know them personally, but he will ask around and see if anyone who is still living who remembers.
If you are the same lady that was asking about Kilners, the photos of which I posted in another thread then I belive the photo's I posted were originally taken by Mr Lowe.
-
Mr Lowe took numerous photographs of the area, he died in 1934.
Jessie his wife made and sold postcards in the local shops after his death.
-
I know that the last post was 5 years ago but, regarding Jessie Lowe's death the entry in the Patterdale burial register states that she died at The Grange, St Ann's Hill, Chertsey in Surrey.
