Lowrie, Mary

From the 1881 Census we find a female, aged 18 years residing in Lot 34, living in the household of Peter Robertson. Her county of birth is listed as PEI. Religion-Presbyterian. (Is this the daughter of Thomas Lowrie, of McCandles Wharf, East River, who came to the Robertson family at 20 months of age?)

Lowry, John

Islander, April 15, 1859 page 3

Died — “at his late residence, in East Royalty, Charlottetown, Mr. John Lowry, in his 36‘h year. deservedly regretted by all who knew him leaving a sorrowing widow and young family to realize their irreparable loss. Mr. Lowry had for some time filled, with great acceptance, the office of Class leader in the Wesleyan Church. Throughout his last illness he was peculiarly sustained by the powerful consolations of our holy religion, and his end was peace.” *[This John was probably the John who was married to Matilda Gibson.]
