My GG grandfather, THOMAS LOWE was born 1811 in Warwickshire, it is said to have been within sight of the castle. He learned blacksmithing from his father.
By the mid 1830s he was in Tasmania, Australia where he married a lady (name unknown) born there who bore him 3 children before she died. 1st a girl Elizabeth or Lizzie (later married a Mr Griggs); 2nd a boy (my G grandfather) Charles Henry (he married in NZ); 3rd a girl name unknown (later married a Mr Armstrong)
Thomas married a second time to Eliza Davis and had 2 more children a boy and a girl.
Around 1862 or 1863 they moved to Auckland, New Zealand, leaving behind the 2 oldest girls - probably both married by then.
Can anyone help with further information.
