Annie/Geoff, The probable marriage for this 1841 Moorby family is

John Lowis - Sarah Brader 21/12/1809 Moorby (Horncastle deanery marriages)

The workhouse issue warrants a closer look though ,doesn't it?

John

Thornton le Fen is both a parish and a scattered township which lies 6 miles northwest of Boston. Carrington parish is to the northeast and Langrick parish to the southwest. The parish includes the hamlet of Bunker's Hill on the Howbridge Drain, and covers about 1,670 acres.

This is more than 10 miles South of Moorby....but later censuses suggest that John Lowis came from even further south- Cambridgeshire.

Thanx..
The problem I've got is Betsy Lowis was my partners GGGrandmother
She was in Horncastle workhouse and was an unmarried mother.
On IGI it says Betsy's mother was Eliza ------
There is an Eliza Lowis in the workhouse with her and I am trying to connect them.
But! I cannot find a husband for her but another son !!
