hi I was interested in your
Owen John
Lowndes Witherington. My grandma's family is lowndes and they have all come from the general area of
Birmingham,Staffordshire,
Shropshire etc before a branch of them went to bradford for work,(my grandma's line) I guess.There are a few John
Lowndes in my trees maybe You should try looking at the female lines of the lowndes family,sometimes you find that daughters would sometimes keep their family name and ends up as a hypernated surname and down the generations people forget where it comes from espcially if its the female line,a relative of mine did this her name and the name of her children ended up as harrison-wilson. In the meantime check out my trees moore/mann/lowndes and moore/lowndes. I would be interested to know what you find out
