Hello all, I'm looking for the Howells family in the 1700's around the area where 3 counties meet Herefordshire, Radnorshire and Shropshire.
   George Fletcher ( 1750 ) married Hannah Howells ( 1755 ) at mainstone in Shropshire on 13-02-1776.
   12 miles away at Leintwardine ( Herefordshire ) John Howells ( c1716 ), wife Susannah ( c1716 ), christened 4 children Mary 1738, Thomas 1739, William 1742, John 1749 and 3 others who died young. No other church records of John and Susannah are known as yet.
   Have you any information of the Howells family in this area ?
    I'm not sure how  Roots Chat deals with the 3 counties involved.    thanks for taking interest,  Charlie.

thanks dave for the extra newspaper details. I now feel more certain that the James recorded on the 1841 census at godway farm is Christianna's father. Age on the census maybe ought to be 26 not 20, burial info is perhaps more accurate, buried 28 nov 1852 at Blakemere aged 38.  Also add Ann Catharine Delahay 1853 to 1854 buried at Blakemere 4 jun 1854, sister to Christianna and Margaret I think.

thanks for the info, looks good, the 1845 date of birth I took from burial info Jan 1917 aged 71.
Delahay is frequently mispelled, also Christiana sometimes as 2 n's.
James Davies was the other witness at William and Christiannas' wedding. Son Arthur baptised at madley 26-04-1867

Hi Snooper, thanks for the info, I was missing Susannah onwards, she seems to have 10 siblings.

Hi,    my Fletcher family from south shropshire goes back to George Fletcher 1750 - 1820 married Hannah Howells at mainstone 13-02-1776. My cousin did the Fletcher side of the family a while ago now, I'm researching my wifes Morgan family from madley. Only Jane Fletcher 1860 is daughter of Richard Fletcher 1836 and Margaret 1834.
