Her siblings were: James (b 1872), Frank (b 1873), Horace (b 1877) and Edith (b 1879). Frank and Ada had three boys, all born in England: Norman Wyeth (b 1895), Roy Ira (b 1897) and Ronald Frank (1898-1941). In 1901 and 1911 the Lowe family lived in Portswood, Hampshire. Frank, Norman and Roy arrived in Quebec on 20 September 1912 aboard SS ‘Ausonia'. Ada and Ronald boarded SS ‘Ultonia' in Southampton on 5 November 1912 and arrived in Quebec on 16 November 1912.

We could find no candidate for the Frank Lowe signature with Saskatoon ties. As several people that signed the quilt near this signature have been traced to Winnipeg and Portage la Prairie, Manitoba it was thought that Frank Lowe may have come from there as well. So far these candidates have been identified as Methodist in census records for 1916 and/or 1921, as was Frank. It has been speculated that they were all in Saskatoon for some sort of church related meeting.
