Having a nightmare - Howsego/Housego

[toni*]

how old was William when he died?
and what was it registered under?

[babygirlbill]

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.
