Hello all, Happy New Year. I hope things are settling in well. I have amongst my ancestors a group of LOWEs who moved from the Tipton area of Staffordshire to the Swanwick area of Derbyshire. However, the first person on the tree, Zachariah LOWE, gave his place of birth as Paines Lane, Shropshire in the 1861 census. His birth year is usually given about 1815 / 1816. Has anyone run across this combination of names in what is now the Telford area?
