- Death Notes
- Londonderry Standard edn. 2 Aug 1843: Died at Drimfra last week Mr John Lowry."
On Monday 8th May 1843, on page 127 of the Vestry Minutes for Taughboyne Parish Church, "John Lowry" is described as "the Guardian of the Feddyglass Division", whose aid is being solicited to have an 8 year old boy, James Park, admitted to the Strabane Unuin Worrkhouse". This is less than three months before his death, suggesting that perhaps he died suddenly.

Alexander Lowry
Alexander was born in 1789 in
Drumcrow, Taughboyne Parish, Co. Donegal, Ireland.
- Birth Notes
- DoB based on Death Record
He died at the age of 84 on September 25th, 1873 in
Raphoe, Raphoe Pa., Co. Donegal, Ireland.
- Death Notes
- We have found a death record for an Alexander Lowry, Sept 25, 1873 of Raphoe, Raphoe Parish. Present at Death was Thomas Hayes. This is the Alexander Lowry who is Sarah Lowry Hayes' father. It is not clear if this is my Alexander Lowry. According to the GVRB's of 1861-76 he was living in Feddyglass.
130105: Death entry shows Alexander Lowry, widower, aged 84, labourer of Raphoe, died of "Old Age" after 3 months, PAD being Thomas Hayes. This would seem to make Sarah Lowry Hayes his daughter. Did she return from America to look after him as she was in Philly in the 1860 census, and did she then marry Thomas Hayes of Raphoe? Number 6 Irish Row, where he died if it is him, is hard to find because the houses are not numbered.
No death notice found in Derry Standard.
George Lowry
George was born in 1811 in
Drumcrow, Taughboyne Parish, Co. Donegal, Ireland.
- Birth Notes
- Source: Death notice found in Derry Standard. It says, "August 17th at Coolaghy, suddenly, George Lowry, aged 78 years. Interment in St Johnston Burying-ground". Death Record at GRO, Dublin says George died 17th August 1889 at Coolaghy, married, aged 78 years, farmer, from "shock from a fall 22 hours certified". A Letitia Lowry, "niece" was PAD. This fact is crucial in making George a brother of Andrew Lowry of Carrickbrack, who was the father of a Letitia Lowry.
