Lowdens from Cockermouth, Cumberland - Cockermouth
I am doing research on the Lowden family that lived and possibly still do live in Cockermouth, Cumberland, England. The original family member to move there was Joseph Lowden in aprox. 1841 with his wife Sarah and first born Robert. They were all born in Antrim, Ireland. There are a total of 7 children in this family. I believe the family trade was building homes/plastering. My grandfather is Joseph William Lowden born in Cockermouth, Cumberland in 1880 and my mother is June Ann Lowden born in Hounslow. As I live in Australia it is hard for me to do any research in churches so any help at all is appreciated.

I would love any information on John's parents or other forebears, also the Sancton family. Many thanks.
