Title: George Howell b. 1795

George Howell born in Hertfordshire, married Caroline Elizabeth Jansen born 1813 in  George. Does anybody know when he arrived in ZA or where he came from exactly?

You could try a publication "British residents at the Cape" which documents the early British families in the 2nd occupation of the Cape by the British.

If you google George Lawrence Howells a tree for him comes up. Unfortunately it does not state when he arrived here, but does give the names and births of his children as well as information on Caroline.
