Family History of Andrew John Low
Welcome to my
family
history! This site is
definitely work in progress. The objective is simply to make
the latest version available to anyone who may be interested – particularly anyone who can add anything or point out the mistakes!
I am really grateful for any
comments. I am also very grateful for all the help and support
already given!
The input data has come from 5 sources:
Of course there is still a lot to do. I am particularly keen to discover
the identity of my great-great-grandfather Low. My
great-grandfather
Low was called James Low Duncan on his birth certificate.
His
mother
was young, unmarried and a domestic servant – but he seems to have
had a very good education, so the father was probably able to pay. He
was born on 12th May 1862 in Dundee. In the 1861 census she was 18 years old and living in Arbikie Collar House, Lunan and next door
there was a James Low, age 21. There is a good chance that he is the father. He was a "ploughman" and was born in Craig,
Forfarshire. More work needed to confirm this and find out who he was.
There is a strong rumour of a link between the Duncans from Letham, Angus and those from Collessie, Fife. Maybe
Andrew
Duncan and
Andrew
Duncan were cousins?
The Fox side of my family is filling up now. I am now trying to find the
link rumoured to exist between
George
Monday Hawes and the English musicians William Mundy (1529 –
1591) and John Mundy (1550 – 1630). I am also trying to find where
Phoebe
Angelina Dukes (married Stark) came from.
On Eleanor’s side, I am trying to find the link rumoured to exist
between
Herbert
Gaunt and John of Gaunt (!?). I also have not made much progress
on the ancestors of
Francis
Pickering.

to add or if you would like more information.
