Lowe, Edward (1799-1812)

Lowe, Edward, Liverpool, cm (1799–1812). The relationship of this Edward Lowe to to the other two cm of this name working in Liverpool is uncertain. He was app. to Edward Lowe jnr in 1799, only nine years after the latter had received his own freedom which would suggest that he was not the son of Edward jnr. After serving Edward Lowe jnr for seven years he petitioned for his freedom in 1806. This was however refused as the indenture had been lost and the application was postponed. It is possible that at this stage he left Liverpool and went to work in Shrewsbury. This is based on the assumption that he is the Lowe who was married in 1809 to a Miss Margaret Keen at St Peter's Church, Liverpool. He eventually became a freeman of Liverpool on 5 October 1812. [Freemen reg.; freemen's committee bk; Liverpool Courier, 1 February 1809]
