James Lowe 1/12 ...born Durham, South Shields


This would possibly be the marriage registration for James Lowe and Jane Upton, so a copy of the marriage certificate if you don't already have it would give the parents names so that you could be sure you were on the right track.

Marriages Mar 1912
Lowe James Upton Easington 10a 631
Upton Jane Lowe Easington 10a 631

If this is the correct marriage then Dora was married as Lowe, not Upton

Spouse Surname: Lowe
Date of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar 1934
Registration district: Middlesbrough
Registration county (inferred): Yorkshire
Volume Number: 9d

So this would probably be her birth

I think the enumerator may have misheard Oldham and put down Holdan instead
