Where is Lowhouse?
« on: Monday 03 December 07 13:18 GMT (UK) »
Hi

My direct ancestor John BOWKER has his place of birth as Lowhouse, Lancs (abt 1797) in the 1851 census.  By this time he was living in Haworth over the border in Yorkshire.

I can't for the life of me find such a place.  Any ideas anyone?
In 1861 he states born in Colne so I presume it's in that area.

Any help most appreciated.

Cheers

Hi Sue

I don't think so as the family seem to be all from around the Lancs/Yorks border between Colne and Bradford/Keighley.

Cheers for the suggestion however.

Hi,

There was  Law and Law House addresses on the 1851 census for Colne.  HO107/2254 folio 590 pages pages 20 and 21.  Before these houses was Higher and Lower Saltersyke.

Regards,
Mo

In 1861 his birthplace is given as Colne, Lancashire, which may help - see Mo's reply!

details if you don't already have them

Hi

It's the 1851 census which is giving me the problem, perhaps someone might want to view it to see if I/ancestry have read it properly.
HO 107/2287 812/ 16
Cheers

It's  Low House, Lancashire

Mo already said there's a Law House in Colne, and in 1861 he says Colne

Looks ok to me  :)
