Volume 9, page 245, sitting number 11,976.

Born in or about 1835 at Everton in Lancashire, Lowry Mann was the son of William Mann, a Liverpool merchant.

On 5 August 1857, at St James's New Brighton, Lowry Mann of Liscard in Cheshire married Mary Elizabeth, daughter of John Bell, Esq. of Earlston, Liscard, Cheshire (Morning Chronicle, 10 August 1857).

At the time of the 1871 census, he and his wife and their ten-year-old daughter Mary were living with Mrs Mann's father John Bell in Liscard. Mary was the youngest of their five children.

On the night the 1881 census was taken, Lowry Mann, magistrate, was visiting Sir Thomas Boughey at Brewood Hall, Brewood in Staffordshire.

He died, aged 52, on 16 April 1887 at his residence in Leasowe Road, Wallasey, near Liverpool. He left a personal estate valued at £920.

According to a short obituary that appeared in the Liverpool Mercury (18 April 1887): 'The residents of the parish of Wallasey will regret to hear of the death of Mr Lowry Mann, J.P., who expired suddenly from apoplexy at his residence, Leasowe-road, Wallasey, on Saturday evening. Mr Mann had lived in the parish for nearly the whole of his life, and was greatly esteemed by all classes of the community. He qualified as a justice of the peace for the Wirral Division of Cheshire on the 20th October, 1876, and as a magistrate he was constant in his attendance at the Wallasey Petty Sessions. In politics he was a Conservative, but never took a prominent part in the political contests of Cheshire. The deceased, who was about 50 years of age, was son of the late Mr William Mann, who was a well-known Liverpool merchant, and who for some years represented North Toxteth and Pitt-street Wards in the Town Council.'
