Buckinghamshire / Re: smith family in aylesbury
« on: Sunday 19 October 14 16:30 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

I was fascinated to see that you are a descendant of Louisa Emma Garner. I did a lot of research on the Garner's over quite a few years for a friend of mine who sadly passed away several months ago. Her father in law was Louisa's elder brother Joseph William Garner b. circa 1884 in Aylesbury.
Joseph William came to Australia in the early 1900's. I was aware that Louisa Emma married Albert Smith in 1906. My late friend obtained the marriage cert. and from memory Albert's father was Alfred Smith and Albert was employed as a gardener at Eythrope near Waddesdon. Eythrope and Waddesdon Manor were owned by the Rothschild's. Louisa had several other brother's Ernest, Thomas (he died young) and Cyril James born in 1901. Louisa's mother died in 1904? which is probably why Cyril was living with her and husband. I don't have all my info. at hand at the moment, but would love to hear from you.
Regards, Jen

Hi,
I am a direct descendant of George Howatt (Howitt/Hewitt) and his wife Jane/Jean Hamilton
through their youngest child Christina who married Bowman Fleming Steven. I researched the family some years ago, but as yet have not put all the info. together. George and Jane had 10 children most of whom died young. Their children were all born and baptised in Govan. They are as follows:
1. Janet baptised 4/4/1795
2. John baptised 22/11/1796 died pre 1805
3. David baptised 7/7/1798 died 11/2/1841 Govan (soldier)
4. Margaret born 1/4/1800
5. George born 20/5/1802 
6. Elizabeth born 29/3/1804
7. John born 7/12/1805
8. Euphemia born 9/12/1807
9. William 16/6/1810
10. Christina (Christian) born 28/2/1814

Christina Howitt and Bowman Fleming Steven had 12 children (8 sons and 4 daughters) My great great grandfather David Howatt Steven (born 1840) was one of their sons. He migrated to Australia in approx. 1865. He married and had 10 children.

John Howatt who was married to Helen/EllenDavidson in 1831 had the following known children:

James b. 1832
Jane b. 2/1/1835
George b. 27/2/1837
David b. 5/6/1840


James Howatt born 1832 migrated to QLD Australia in the 1850's. He married Annie Charleson on 1/5/1858 and they had 10 children. He was a ships engineer and died on 27/4/1885 at his home in Grey St, South Brisbane.

Hope this helps. Look forward to hearing from you. Jen
