Good day! I am researcing Michael Lowry (~1830 - 1929) who's obituary stated he was born in "West Meath." He left Ireland in 1850 for the United States. He had a sister Mary (~1839 - 1916) who likewise left around 1850. The names of their parents are unconfirmed, but either Thomas or John and Mary. Have either of these individuals crossed your radars in your search of Westmeath Lowrys?
Thanks!
Joe Lowry

In 1854 in Griffiths Valuation there are 83 Lowry listed.Only one in Kilbeggan, a Patrick Lowry.
www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/index.xml?action=doNameSearch…Civil records were introduced in 1864, the next place to look is in this site

If they were Catholic then use this site.

After that yuo would have to back track on Michael's ship record.
I hope this helps
