born dublin 1834. any details would be welcome please - prior to his life here in Essex. Father was also William, a bookbinder - presumably Irish?

Further info: May 29th 1834 St Peter's Dublin. This detail came from a document linked to his work. A researcher for the Church in Dublin couldn't find a record of him in either St Peters or St Johns. This has hit a brick wall.

Thank you very much indeed to you both for your amazing work on this. It is definitely William George, not Henry. I can't get back beyond his being on the censuses in England. Someone in the family did a family tree but when he died it went with him, unfortunately.

Can't find his service record unfortunately.

He's in the army in 1851

shornecliffe barracks was where he spent most of his time, it seems, but the barracks have gone and i think i would have to go to kew to get his service records?

From a tree on Ancestry giving his birth date

William George Lowe
Birth: 29 May 1834 - Dublin, Ireland
Death: 3 April 1901 (3 Apr 1901) - London, England
Marriage: June 1869 (Jun 1869) - Eastry, Kent, England
Spouse: Emily Fagg


Just can't find the baptism to piece it all together for you. Maybe the girls from Ireland will be able to find it.

yes, he was. i haven't found anything on him in Anglesea. He then moved to Kent and he appears on his marriage cert.in 1868 as a drummand in the 7th batt. of the army - based at shorncliffe.

sorry, i meant 1869, as you rightly say

Most of the older Service Records are on Find My Past but a great many of them were destroyed by fire and water in WW11 so unfortunately they are lost forever.

I spoke too soon!! I have just found it I think. He was discharged as a Sergeant in Portsmouth in 1871 and joined up in Dublin at the age of 14 years and 11 months in 1847. No parental details though but gives his birthplace as St. Peter's Dublin. When he joined he was a bookbinder by trade.
If you would like a copy PM me your E mail and I will download and send it on to you. There are only 4 pages.

There are Lowe family in here -

ST. PETER
Marriage of WILLIAM LOWE of ST. PETER'S and ELLEN LORD of THE SAME on 1 September 1822

This is amazing! It must surely be it... Thank you very much indeed. Ellen was a popular name in the family too... I'm going to look at the link now.

You're welcome. It is always good to be able to help if or when one can :-)
