Notes for Ada Nunns LOWE
From notebook of Joseph Harry Lowe, courtesy of Gordon Slater.
Ada Nunns Lowe born Aug. 1850. [Perhaps there is an error in the date and it should be 1848?]
Possible matches. [If these are matches, then perhaps she was born before her mother was married, lived with her grandparents rather than her mother, used her mother’s maiden name, then adopted her mother’s husbands last name later in life. The age is confirmed by the National Probate Calendar entry.]
