I have all the family members in various years in the Canadian voting lists in the east end of Toronto (Greenwood electoral district).  The elder Robert Lowe, a bricklayer, and his wife were living on Hanson Avenue in 1949.

Betty's husband Thomas Craft must have died young in 1941. Buried at St. John's Norway Cemetery, wife of Elizabeth McGregor.  His obit in 1941 names her as Betty Craft and also two children.  Betty was also living in the east end of the city in later voting lists.

Wow!!  Fantastic!  And thank you!!
So Mary is buried with Robert... I didn't have a date of death for him, but did for her.  The girls married. Margaret died in 1992 and is probably buried at Mount Pleasant, along with her husband William McIntosh.  Elizabeth married at least twice, to Philip Craft first - he is buried (1932) at St. John's Norway, and her name is on the stone, but she is not (understandably) buried there.  She remarried, a Thomas Craft, and he died in 1941.  She was still alive in 1992, but was known as Mrs. Henderson.  We have no information about a Mr. Henderson.
She could be buried as a McGregor or a Henderson. Probably between 1992 and 1996.

Error above - Elizabeth married Philip Watters first, and they had a daughter, Elizabeth.  Then she married Thomas Craft who had a son by the same name from a previous marriage.
