Hi Kristina: I am curious about your LOWs. I have cousins of that name, all the descend from the marriage of a Robert Hutcheon LOW who married my GG aunt, Isabella POWRIE, child of John POWRIE and Jane Haddon INNES. Many in the family were born at 46 Hillbank Road in the heart of Hilltown, and many worked in the jute mills. Half of Robert & Isabella (or Isobella)'s nine children remained in Dundee, but 4-5 went to New Zealand, perhaps about 1890-1900.
