# A Naval Biographical Dictionary/Lowry, William

​LOWRY. (Lieutenant, 1819. f-p., 8; h-p., 34.)
William Lowry is fifth and youngest son of the late Robt. Lowry, Esq., of Pomeroy House, co. Tyrone, by Eliza, daughter of Major Tigre; and grand-nephew of Galbraith Lowry, Esq., of Ahenis, M.P. for Tyrone, father of Armar Lowry Corry, first Earl of Belmore. Three of his brothers were in the Army; a fourth is the present Robt. Wm. ​Lowry, Esq., of Pomeroy House, a Magistrate and Deputy-Lieutenant, and in 1812 High-Sheriff, for the above county, who married the only daughter of Admiral Graves.
This officer entered the Navy, 24 Dec. 1805, as Fst.-cl. Vol., on board the Ramillies 74, Capts. Fras. Pickmore and Robt. Yarker. Continuing in that ship for nearlyfthree years, he was in consequence present, as Midshipman, at the capture, 13 March, 1806, of the Marengo 80, bearing the flag of Admiral Linois, and 40-gun frigate Belle Poule; and at the reduction, in Dec. 1807, of the Danish islands of St. Thomas and Ste. Croix. He fell on one occasion from the ship’s side, and was so seriously injured that for many years he felt the effects. Towards the close of 1808 we find him proceeding in the Cornelia frigate, Capt. Henry Folkes Edgell, to the Cape station, where, in Dec. 1810, he co-operated in the reduction of the Isle of France. Returning home in the early part of 1811, in consequence of ill health, in the Actaeon 16, commanded by Capt. Bertie Cornelius Cator, who was charged with the despatches announcing the conquest, Mr. Lowry did not again go afloat until July, 1813; between which period and Dec. 1815, he served on the Home and Mediterranean stations, part of the time as Admiralty Midshipman, in the Blenheim, Namur, and Bombay 74’s, and Malta 80, Capts. Sam. Warren, Chas. John Austen, Geo. M‘Kinley, Henry Bazely, and Wm. Chas. Fahie. From the date last mentioned until July, 1819, he remained a second time on shore. It was his fortune to be then appointed Admiralty Midshipman of the Royal George yacht, Capt. Hon. Chas. Paget; during the presence of the Prince Regent on board which vessel, he appears to have had the care of the royal barge, and to have had the honour of steering the Duke of York. He was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant by a commission dated 11 Oct. 1819; and has since been on half-pay.
One of his sons, Wm. J. Lowry, is a Midshipman in the R.N.; and another is Lieutenant in the 47th Regt. of Foot.

Chas. Talbot, of the piratical settlement of Malloodoo, on the north end of the island of Borneo, where the British encountered a desperate opposition, and sustained a loss of 6 men killed and 15 wounded.
