I am trying to research part of my tree, the surname Howsego/Housego but I am having a complete nightmare!
I know one half of my tree were Romanys, the Buckley family (decending from Joe Buckley) and they married Howsegos, so I am wondering if they too were a travelling family.
So far all I have managed to find is my great grandad George Howsego born in West Ham in 1903, along with his 2 brothers, Arthur born in 1900 and William John born in 1901. Their parents were William Frederick (sometimes listed the other way around) and Emily (nee Morris).
I have Georges birth, marriage and death certificate. His parents marriage certificate and a death certificate for William Frederick. I have a marriage certificate for William John, he married Lylie Butcher in 1925 in West Ham.
After this I am at a complete dead end!! I cannot find any information whatsoever on Arthur apart from his birth certificate, and have no information for their mum or any more siblings.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
-
Hi there,
Are you trying to find info going forwards (Arthurs marr/death etc) or backwards William Frederick and Emily on censuses and their parents?
If you want to go backwards can you give all the details on Wm Fred and Emily's marriage certificate (ages, fathers, places dates etc) Then we should be able to locate them on the 1901 census and further back.

Hi
Have you traced a burial for William Frederick to see if his wife was buried with him and to see whether there is any useful information on any surviving headstone? Also, any obituary in a local newsaper might mention relatives.
Casalguidi :)
-
Hi
Thanks for the reply, I am happy to go anyway i can, as long as I can find some information ;)
The marriage was registered Frederick William Howsego to Emily Morris on 25 December 1898, her father was David Morris, his was George Howsego.
Thank you
-
No Casalguidi i hadnt thought of that actually, but then im not too sure where he was buried, would that make a difference do you think?
thanks
-
Cool,
How old were they when they married? I have had a quick look on the 1901 census and cannot find them, will look further back now
xxx
-
Also where did they marry and where was Arthur born please?
-
He was 25 and she was 18.
It just says the Parish Church, West Ham.
Arthur was born at 17 Granville Road, West Ham and William John was born at 9 Granville Road. George was born at St Johns Road West Ham. I know they also lived in Agate Street and Fife Road
Thanks for this
-
Thank you, hopefully I can narrow down the searches now and find them on a census!
-
Hi,
I think this must be Emily on the 1891
10 Forty Acre Lane, West Ham
David Morris, head, 50, Doc's labourer, born Sawbridgeworth
Elizabeth Morris, wife, 41, born Wadham
William Morris, son, 15, Errand boy port, born West Ham
David Morris, son, 12, scholar, born West Ham
Emily Morris, dau, 10, scholar, born West Ham
Albert Morris, son, 8, scholar, born West Ham
Arthur Morris, son, 6, scholar, born West Ham
-
Excellent, that seems like it definitely could be, plus she has a brother called Arthur, i know its a common name back then, but they seem to have a habit of reusing names through the family
thanks a lot!! :)
-
This is the same family in 1881
36 Vincent Street, West Ham
David Morris, head, 39, labourer, born Sawbridgeworth, Herts
Elizabeth Morris, wife, 34, born Great Wadham, Herts
William Morris, son, 5, scholar, born Caning Town
David Morris, son, 2, born Canning Town
Emily Morris, dau, 6 months, born Canning Town
This is the only family I can find with daughter Emily born c 1880 and father David which corresponds to the marriage certificate you have. What does the marr cert say for David's occupation?
-
David Morris married Elizabeth Rowley in the district of Bishop Stortford, December 1/4 1869, vol 3a pg 340

I cant get hold of my dad, ive left all my stuff at my parents house, im sure it says dock labourer, that definitely rings a bell somewhere!
thank you
-
Frederick William Howsego is a bit tricky, I can't find a birth for him or an appearance on any census...
There is a Frederick Housego with dad George born 1869 in Norfolk on the 1881 census, birth is a little earlier than I'd have wanted but he could have been lenient with the truth on his marriage cert, do you want the details?
-
Toni, does that George have a son called Frederick?
-
Yes please that would be great, i know what you mean about the ages, most of the certificates i have for my Buckley family they always lie about their ages!
Thank you so much for this i massively appreciate it!!

Hmmmmm I don't think the Norfolk Frederick is yours, his birth record doesn't have the William middle name, however that may have been added at a later date....
There is a 1875 birth for a Frederick William Housego in Mile End though.... but I can't see him on any census
-
Don't know whether these Howsegos will tie in with yours but love the last child's name! Obviously had a a sense of humour ;D (think it should be Arthur, as, in 1852, theres a death registration for an Arthur Howsego in Westbourne)

This is excellent.
I have just found William Frederick's (Frederick William) - what a nightmare! grave. He is buried in a public grave in Manor Park cemetary, East London, He was buried on 17 Dec 1923. But because it is a public grave, unless he died at the same time as someone else in the family, they wont be together, how sad :(
-
Awww that's sad, but at least you know where he rests.
Here is David and co. in 1851...

And there was me thinking that finding a David Morris was going to be hard, obviously not!! :o

I think this is David Morris' wife and family in 1851 (this is the only Elizabeth I can find born in Herts at approx the right time)

I think on later censuses after Elizabeth married David her birth place should be Hadham not Wadham, H and W can be easily confused in old handwriting

:P missed a page

This is the Rowley family in 1861, Elizabeth isn't at home though, perhaps she is living away as a servant, not that I can find her! ;)

Thats the thing that i am finding so strange!! where'd they go!! maybe on the next census out in 2012 i will have more luck?

is this the correct occupation for Fred Wm's father - from the Marriage Cert ?
-
George Houzego died in Brighton aged 58 in December 1/4 1908
And
Sarah A Houzego died in Brighton aged 55 in June 1/4 1916

Date: 1934.
deb
-
Blimey, what great scandal! His age certianly ties in with Wm Fred's brother George
-
Oh how horrible!! suicide
Just managed to get hold of my dad who has checked William Frederick and Emilys marriage certificate and both of their dads were listed as labourers.
Strange coinicidence here, that George Arthur that Deb just found was living at 3 Wellington Place, Brighton, well George Howsego Jnr was living at Wellington Place West Ham when he had my nan in 1926.
-
do you think we have the wrong family? ag lab is nothing near a cab driver :-\ :-X

-
well, given Fred W was aged 25 in 1898 AND this occupation of his Father - its not looking good !
If only the family would reveal themselves in 1901 - we'd hopefully get a PoB .....
-
Could they have possibly been in Scotland or Wales (or further afield) in 1901?
I do find the 1901 most annoying as a lot of mine don't seem to be on it...
-
anybody bumped into this chap during the census searching ?

I did see him Newfster and discounted him
I think the middle names were added at baptism or later as no many of the kids have been registered with a middle name

No i hadnt thought of that, where did you find those two?
Im not too sure if the sussex ones are related or not, im going to have to go through them all and see if i can match up any ages etc to the few that i have
-
Hi
just for a reminder (for me) can you list the few Housegos that you have again
please
-
great grandad George Howsego born in West Ham in 1903, brother, Arthur born in 1900
brother, William John born in 1901.
Their parents were William Frederick (sometimes listed the other way around) and Emily (nee Morris).
-
Yes thats all i have.
I know William Frederick died in 1923 and he married Emily in 1898.
William John married a Lylie Butcher in 1925 and had a daughter Lylie Howsego in 1926.
-
Just wondered if you had seen this:
http://www.cousinconnect.com/p/a/0/s/HOUSEGO
-
how old was William when he died?
and what was it registered under?
-
He was 49 years old when he died, it was registered at West Ham, he died in Durban Road. He is buried in Manor Park Cemetery
-
I have just found that Lylie Howsego Jr died in 1929, when she was 2 years old.
-
I know this is an old posting. Some of the people on "Toni's" information, reply 69. are my ancestors. George and also William are common names in the Howsego (of Westbourne/ Portsmouth area) I have plenty of information regarding them.
Howsego/Housego surname is mostly originating from Norfolk/Suffolk areas and I have found no connection in my research to earlier Housego family in London. As far as I am aware there is no Romany connection to the Howsego surname, most were ag. labs.
-
Sorry, I forgot to add the Howzego/ Howsiego etc of Brighton and the area are all members of the Westbourne family. We are so used to being able to read & write that we forget that many ordinary people were still illiterate. They gave their information verbally to the Parish Clerk and had to accept their name written as whatever he wrote down. Hope you strike lucky.
-
Have you looked on the 1911 Census? It is online. There are a lot of Housego names for the West Ham area.
-
Hello, Has anyone already given you this information?
Birth Registration December Quarter 1875,
Housego- Frederick William, Registered at Mile End, 1c 535.
If that is the one it will give the mother's maiden name and address where born,and assuming it IS George for the father, his occupation.
There is also a Deaths Registration December Quarter 1920 for a George Housego aged 62, Registered at Poplar 1c 444. Is there a connection to the Westbourne Sussex family?
I have in my Sussex Howsego/Housego tree a George Housego, baptized on
1st February 1857, at Westbourne, son of Frederic & Ann.
Frederic Howsego married Ann Rogers on 5th July 1856 at Racton, Sussex.
This Frederic Howsego was the 5th of 12* children of William and Emily Howsego,
baptized on 5th August 1832 at Westbourne. (* I am decended from their eldest child also called William) William Housego married Emily Steele on 25th December 1823, at Westbourne. William Howsego baptized 19th August 1804 at Westbourne, son of John Howsego and Ann(nee Horner) You can see some of the variations in the name even in the same parish register.

-
the howzego, housego, howsego and related names were i think decended from the danish settlers called housecarls(housegos) the danish settlement placings sussex woods and norfolk suggest that a link is very likely .the house carls were said to be king alfreds elite foot soldiers they were strong and uncomprimising men who were always ready for war and lived off the land ,ill try and research some more to try and prove a link but sound alike names often have a match further back and for very basic reasons ,the further back in research you may go , then no doubt other variations to the name will appear
-
Interesting. Have you had any further luck with the Housego name.

From the FreeBMD Index, Alfred -J- Howsego's mother's maiden name was Butcher.
Have you got back as far as finding his parents marriage?
The name has many spelling variants ... just looking at West Ham Marriages in the 1920s onwards we see:-
Howgego, Housego, Howego !
this must be it:-
Marriages Dec Quarter of 1925
~~~~~~~~
Butcher Lylie to Howsego W.Ham 4a 644
Cuthill Ewen C Downing W.Ham 4a 644
Downing Doris L Cuthill W.Ham 4a 644
Howsego William to Butcher W.Ham 4a 644

I contacted the poster earlier and again today in case that p.m. wasn't received. Welcome to rootschat... Don't forget, everyone, that middle names can be used which is often more confusing than looking for an unusual surname.
:D Be thankful it isn't Smith... as we are in "travelling people", by the by, don't be afraid to look further afield. Searching in Canada we often find descendants have traveled to either coast on horseback and wagon. This would span the length of the U.K. and back, the width several times. Many of these early pioneers came from British stock...So remember some people just don't let distance be a factor in where they want to work or live. J.J.

Hello All
Thank you for your replies, I hadn't received them previously - sorry for the delay.
Poppygale I will private message you.
and J.J thank you for pointing out the posts. I know how you feel looking up people from a travelling community - the other half of my family are Romany, so can be quite fun trying to hunt them down!

Weird that you would not get notification and not get a p.m. Must have been a major !!!BLOING!!! on the server!
Just in case there are some new variation on the surname here a FreeBMD search with House*o gets you...Housiego, Houseego, many Houseago, Housigo, Housego, Houseago, Housago, several Housefo, Housagoo, House_o, House*o, HOUSE*O M__d, Housengo,
housg* gets Housgoe, Housgo
Howseg* gets Howsege
and with the long tail used on the "z" how*o - can get Howgego, Howjego, Howdego, Howseyo, How_go, Howzego, Howgego, Howgo, Howzigo, Howggego, How*o, Howg[e_]go, Howgego, Howgeco, Howxego, and my fave Howergoo
other oddballs Hawsego and not sure if yours Hawkrigo
