He was born in Ireland 1820. He married Ann Widdis on December 29, 1842 at the home of her father William Widdis in Tecumseth, Simcoe County, Ann was born in County Cavan, and I have quite a bit of information on her family. The witnesses to George and Ann's marriage were William Lowry of West Gwillimbury and Thomas Willoughby. I have researched William's family with no luck in finding a relationship. William's death certificate says he was born in Lockport, New York. George Lowry's death record does not list his parents. I have census information for George and Ann from 1861-1901. George and Ann's children were reportedly born in Mulmur, Adjala and Tosorontio. They lived in Mulmur in 1861 and 1871, then were in Parry Sound in 1881 then back in Midland by 1891. George and Ann's children were: Mary Ann, married Michael Martineau Elizabeth, married David Morrison William, married Maria Bear Jane, married William Latimer and Thomas Anderson George, married Ruth Anna Anderson Susanna, married Joseph Beals and Peter Ganton Margaret Eleanor, married Thomas Irwin Thomas Richard, unmarried Phoebe Alena, married John Saxe and Richard Corbett I would like to hear from anyone who has any connections to this family, and I would also like to hear any suggestions of how to further search for George's parents.
