Notes for David Allan (Spouse 1)
David Allan Low, son of William Hunter Low and Isabella Rennie Carr, was born 4 October 1873 in Dundee, where he was raised. He was living at 11 Graham Place, Dundee, when he married Betsy (Bessie) Hall Low on 27 February 1901. At the time of his marriage, he was described as a Marine Engineer.

David emigrated to the United States in 1899, but returned to Scotland in 1901 to marry Bessie. Both then moved to the United States in 1904. They became citizens in 1908. They may have been in London, England for a time in the 1930's. In the 1940's, they were at 20 James Street, Malden, Mass., but that address no longer exists. David died in a Nursing Home in Massachusetts about 1947. Family naturalised in 1908.

Betsey (Bessie) Hall Low was a daughter of Joseph Low (ID=466), Seaman Master, and Betsey Hall (ID=467). She was living at 177 Victoria Rd, Dundee, in 1901. Although she had the same surname as her husband, it appears that she was not related.

David A. Low, age 29, Marine Engineer, was found on the passenger list of SS Furessia, which departed Glasgow 1903 February 6. His wife was not listed. However, with his were Hugh Hall (wale) and W. Hall (female), both 31 --the same surname as David A. Low’s mother-in-law’s maiden name.

This branch of the family is still "lost." Pre- liminary efforts to trace this line to living descendants have proved unsuccessful.

NOTE:
There was a David Allan Low listed in WHO'S WHO in the 1930's. This is apparently a different person, although both were born in Dundee and both had similar occupations. The David Allan Low listed in WHO'S WHO was born on 9 February 1857 and died 24 March 1937. He was Emeritus Professor of Civil and Mechanical Engineering at East London College, University of London. He is not related directly to this family. However, it appears he is related to Jean Low (ID=62), the wife of John Low (ID=61).
