John Hamilton Lowry

• General Notes
  • Notes for JOHN HAMILTON LOWRY:
    John Hamilton Lowry was born about 1818 in Raphoe ( This is only going by his age at death) He studied to be a Doctor of Medicine working as an apothecary in Londonderry then studying at the Royal College of Surgeons in Dublin before going to London to sit his final exams in 1838.( I have documents outling his studies at these places)  By 1849 he was in Melbourne Australia getting married at the Scots Presbyterian Church to a Jane Matthews from Oxfordshire. He did not practice Medicine in Australia and there is no record of him on the Medical Register here. He and Jane settled on a farm in Wollert not more than 5 miles away from Margaret and Thomas's farm.
    John called his farm "Springfield" ( I found out later that this was the name of the Hamilton Farm back in Donegal)----Wendy Lowry, 2002
    
    Wendy Lowry is a descendant of John Hamilton Lowry.----BAB
