Nancy Ellis Lowe

Nancy Ellis must have married David Lowe in England at a very young age. We assume this because we have a record of their immigration to the U.S. in 1874 aboard "Ontario", departing Liverpool and arriving 6 Sept. Nancy and David are listed as age 25. Along with them are Anna, age 1; Agnes, aged 5; and Charles age 8.

IF Charles is their son (and he may not be) they would have been 17 at the time of his birth. They went on to have at least two more sons: George Edward, born March 15, 1884 in Innisfil (Barrie); and Thomas, born Oct 1, 1890. (Anna would go on to testify as to her brother George's birth).

Nancy died 11 March 1904 at the age of 57, in Thorton (near Barrie). Sadly, her husband David would end up living as a boarder in a rooming house, working at a horse stable (1911 Canadian Census). He dies 28 Sept., 1930, 26 years later.
