Robert Report 12 Oct 2012 12:34

This is an even bigger WOW - where did all that come from?

I will have to update my family tree with all this information now. Thanks.

There was another James born in 1851, I had a look at my census records and he was only 11 in the 1861 census so I am really confused now :-S

My original request was where are the Low brothers now (I mean then) what happened to James and William?

Robert Report 12 Oct 2012 22:07

I have got the Robert's relatives and a considerable amount of information on them, which is quite fascinating.

but 1901 Scotland Census
County:Forfarshire (Angus)
Parish:DUNDEE
Street:2 MAIN STREET
Birth Town:DUNDEE
Registration District:ST ANDREW

ALEXANDER INGLIS 1870 31 Dundee, Forfarshire HEAD TINSMITH
JEMIMA INGLIS 1870 31 Dundee, Forfarshire WIFE
GEORGE INGLIS 1897 4 Dundee, Forfarshire SON
WILLIAM INGLIS 1900 1 Dundee, Forfarshire SON

I don't know where you got this from (amazing) but Robert and his wife went back to visit Scotland in 1903 (ships manifest) and persuaded this couple to come out with all their children to the USA (ships manifest) which they did the following year. However, she is listed as a widow in the 1910 census. When she came out first they were both listed as Nephew of Robert Low and were destined for "Brownwood, TXT". He was planning an ice cream factory there and would have a need for a master plumber. It was a great pity that he died in the "promised land".
Jemima is listed as Jemima Low before marriage. Lots of relatives at home which i have not investigated. However, the USA one's were more interesting as knowbody had known about the emigration of the Low brothers before the letters came to light.
