Hi:
I am researching the HOWSON family. George HOWSON b 1790 occupation Gardener and his wife Jane b 1790 came to Ontario, Canada before 1851. Their census information states born in England. They had a son George HOWSON b 1820 England and possible Thomas HOWSON b 1818 England.
I'm not sure how to locate the County they came from. I've looked up the name and it seems to be popular in Lincolnshire, Lancashire and Yorkshire.
Any ideas how I can narrow down which County to search?
Abraham, Busby, Down, Doidge, Kinsman, Rowe, Grimley, Kennard, Piper, Bailey, Crew, McKnight, Faulkner, Lay, Newton, Meehan, Legg, Howson, Fitzgerald,Walters, O'Neill, Ring, Pendergast/Prendergast
