Hi Tracy ,
There is no lead. There are too many possibilities.
Unfortunately to make sure we are following the right family line we all have to purchase certs.
I am in Australia and have had to do this for my English ancestry.
You need;
Ernests Birth Cert ( to confirm his parents names)
Then their Marriage Cert ( to find their Fathers names, occp etc)
Birth regs;
HOWLETT, Ernest, March 1889, Aylsham, 4b 79
There are also 2 others;
Ernest Robert
Ernest William
You can check this on Freebmd.
Once you have the cert come back with info and we will help again.
If you order the cert and specify Fathers name is John if the one you have purchased is wrong you will get a part refund.
As you have no second name for him I think the Aylsham one is a good bet.
