Notes:

In addition to his position at the Atlantic Works, Samuel was a machinist at T. A. Harrison’s Mill, Stalybridge, England and a Master Mechanic at the China Mill in Suncook, New Hampshire. It was the China Mill that sponsored the emigration of Samuel Lowe and his family to the United States.

Despite the usage in Fairbanks-1978], there is no indication that Samuel Lowe referred to himself with the suffix “Jr.”

The naturalization date and location listed in [Fairbanks-1978], “13 Oct 1882, Boston, Suffolk County” conflict with the US DoJ, INS records in source [US-INS-1880a]. Since the latter is the actual naturalization record from the US government, it is used in this database.

[US-1900-1c] confirms 1869 as the year that Samuel Lowe and his family emigrated from England to the United States.

[Fairbanks-1979] has death occurring in East Boston, Merrimack County, Massachusetts, but this conflicts with Samuel Lowe’s death certificate.

Samuel Lowe was admitted to Boston City Hospital (the old city hospital in Boston’s South End) on 4 February 1905 and died there the next day.

In the 1870 US Federal Census, Samuel Lowe was enumerated under the name “Law”.

Notes:

John Morley’s surname was listed as “Mawley” in [England-1841c].

An additional child, “Samuel Royle”, age 10, is enumerated in the household of John and Hannah Morley in 1841. In 1851, a “William Royle”, age 20, is listed as a “lodger” in the Morley household.

A second 1841 english census return exists for the family of another John and Hannah Morley of Dukinfield, Stockport, Cheshire. However, it has been determined that this is not the family of our Ann Morley because this record lists her as having been born somewhere other than County Chester (‘Cheshire’). Whereas it is known that Ann was, in fact, born in Cheshire--a fact confirmed by numerous sources including [England-1851c].

Sources [England-1841c] and [England-1851d1] disagree on John Morley’s age and estimated birthdate. The former has him born about 1801. The latter in 1797.

John + Hannah Morley. Hannah was born about 1806 in Derby, Derbyshire, England, United Kingdom; died in ? in (unknown). [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Census: 6 Jun 1841, District 1, Macclesfield, Stockport, Cheshire, England, United Kingdom
• Residence: Mar 1851, Stockport, Cheshire, England, United Kingdom
• Census: 30 Mar 1851, Stockport, Parish of St. Thomas, Cheshire, England, United Kingdom
• Residence: Apr 1861, Stockport, Cheshire, England, United Kingdom
• Census: 7 Apr 1861, Stockport, Stockport Civil Parish, Cheshire, England, United Kingdom
• Residence: Apr 1871, Stockport, Cheshire, England, United Kingdom
• Census: 2 Apr 1871, Stockport, Stockport Civil Parish, Cheshire, England, United Kingdom

Notes:

Most english census sources disagree on Hannah Morley’s age and birth location. The available information breaks down as follows:

[England-1841c]: b. abt 1811 at (unknown)
[England-1851d1] b. abt 1807 at Northwich, Cheshire
[England-1861c]: b. abt 1806 at Derby, Derbyshire
[England-1871b]: b. abt 1808 at Crewe, Cheshire

This database uses the information from [England-1861c] since this would make Hannah the likely mother of her eldest son (about 20 years old rather than 15) and since [England-1841c] states that Hannah was born a county other than Cheshire (e.g., Derbyshire).

“Morley” is Hannah’s married name. Her maiden name is not known.
