Hi Ombler
Have had to leave this thread for a bit - came back from holiday and my uncle had been to see a great aunt of mine and acquired a whole pile of old photographs, birth, marriage and death certificates as well as funeral bills, etc. all to do with another line of the family that ends up linking with the Howmans later on. Have been scanning all these in and updating the tree as my great aunt is keen to know her roots. Fortunately she also has a sister who is still alive and has even more information, however, is on holiday at the moment so when she returns my uncle will be visiting her also.

The info on the two sons of Robert and Caroline is as follows:-
George Howman born 1875 in Sculcoates, Hull.
George married Louisa Brook born 1877.
Joseph Howman born 1877 in Sculcoates, Hull.
He died around 1922.
Joseph married Arabella Buttery b. 1877 from Rillington, Nr. Malton, Yorkshire.
Arabella died around 1960.
Joseph and Arabella married in 1905 (probably St. Marks Church, Hull).
Joseph and Arabella are my great grandparents.
When growing up George and Joseph lived at 17 Howards Row, Chapman Street, Hull.
If you need any more info just drop me a line and if I can help I will.
