Durham Lookup Requests / Re: census lookup please

Hi Rachael, My great grandfather was the Frederick George Lownds noted, son of John and Mary (Roberts).  I am also looking for the same information for the family so find the reply really useful!  I have only gotten back as far as William (father of John). 

Glad to meet a distant cousin!

Gillian Barth (Ottawa, Canada).

Hannah had seven children with Michael Usher.  One of their children's name was Mark which may account for the comment above about being Mary's son and grandson...

Hello there... delighted to meet another Lownds family member!!!  My name is Gillian Barth.  My great grandfather Frederick George Lownds was Mark's brother and also son of John and Mary Roberts.  Other siblings (as you noted) were Hannah, John William, Frederick George (my great grandfather), Robert and Mark Usher Lownds.  I have info on most of them if you still haven't found it.  The challenge I am having is going further back in time (beyond John and his father William).

My great-grandfather Frederick had a daughter Florence who married a Brass from Sunderland and moved to Toronto, Canada in 1921.  My parents have done some research on the Lownds if it would be helpful.

My great grandparents lives there @ #20 so they may have been neighbours.  Was searching for the same thing when I came across this posting.  Information useful.  If you are able to find a photo of the front-face, grateful if you can share.   I tried accessing via google earth but quickly got lost....
