Commander Dick, The bit where you say "This William's..." I'm lost as to which one, could you explain in a different way please?

I've picked up a load of information on our family tree from my Dad, who got it in turn from a distant relative, so I'm trying to decipher what she has found and attached the fact.

I can now see she made the assumption that Terry has mentioned above, that John Howitt the founder of the architects practice is T. C.'s father, when he isn't.

The plot thickens!

Still love to know how Terry fits into this!

Wow! That's a lot of information to take in. I've started putting as much information as possible into my family tree on Ancestry.co.uk so I'll add the information above.

Thanks for the amazingly detailed reply. My Dad will be very happy (who live's about 100 yards from Taghill!)

This is emensly interesting I was trying to prove the exact same thing. My Great Great Grandfather Fredrick Housley was married to Rebecca Howitt, who's Brother is John Howitt, who is T. Cecil Howitts father.

You're probably aware of this but T. Cecil Howitt, designed the Council House in the centre of Nottingham.

I've traced William/Mary Howitt's family tree but can't see any connection yet to 'our' Howitts.

Hi Terry,
I can't believe I've found this. I was researching my family tree and came across the exact same question as you've had answered here.

I fit into this tree like this:

Me - Keith Housley - Clement Housley - Samuel Housley - Fredrick Housley

Are you a long lost relative?!

Kind Regards

Matt
