The names that appear in my Lowndes family tree are
Randle Lowndes also spelt Lounds who died in Moulton, Cheshire in 1704, his son
Roger Lowndes also spelt Lounds who died in Moulton, Cheshire in 1712 and
Thomas Lowndes spelt Lownds who died in 1686 in Moulton, Cheshire who is the father of Randle Lowndes and grandfather of Roger Lowndes.
I know that certain christian names in families are passed down from generation to generation because i have seen Randle, Roger and Thomas mentioned in the Lowndes of Overton family and wondered if my Lowndes family branch could be connected, I know from their Wills that they were classed as Yeoman.
Catherine Lowndes daughter of Richard Lowndes (spelt Lounds) married Samuel Fluitt in 1698 in Frodsham, Cheshire and when Samuel Fluitt died in 1718 he is classed as a Gentleman in his will so must have been doing well.
I wondered if you have come across these Lowndes family members in your research who lived in the Moulton and Davenham areas of Cheshire.

Do you think there is any link to your family?
I’m trying to fill some gaps in the tree of the SC branch of Lowndes. My ggmother was Margaret Washington Lowndes of Charleston, SC (1869-1955), whom I remember fondly. I am looking for info on two generations: Charles Lowndes, the ninth child of John Lowndes(1625-1667) who married Jane Welde in about 1644. Charles was born in Middlewich on 6 December 1658, and he married Sarah in 1679, who had been born about 1662. Does anyone know her surname? Does anyone know when they died? I think Charles was alive in 1690, as he was mentioned in his sister’s will. Did Charles and Sarah have any other children?
His son was also Charles, who was born in Sandbach in 1680-1681. This latter Charles ended his life in Charleston, SC in 1736, after spending a number of years in St. Kitts. Two of his sons remained in SC, including Rawlins (my line) and Charles. Both were prominent.
His wife was Ruth Rawlins of St. Kitts, daughter of Henry Rawlins, a planter. She moved bach to St. Kitts with one of her sons and she died in 1763. Does anone have info about Henry Rawlins.
We try to keep the name alive in SC. My niece just named her baby girl Lowndes. She’s quite a cute package.
