ArchivesBATSON, LOWRIE, LAURIE as last names.
Any suggestions on the names BATSON and LOWRIE?
BATSON: As my great grandfathers last names, I believe he was primarly German and Manx (from the Isle of Mann, off the coast of England). Pronouced BAT-sin.
LOWRIE: I suspect it is a German name, although it looks Irish to me. When my ancestors came over they varied the spellings like LAURIE, LOWREY, LAUREY etc. I do not know the original spelling. Pronounced LAW-er-ee.
