I am trying to find the parents of Frederick Howes, who was born about 1823, in Westinton, Suffolk (according to the 1881 Census). He seems to have moved to North East England as he got married to Ann Griffiths in the Stockton district in 1843. I am assuming that Ann must have died and he married Hannah Maria Nayton (or Naylor) in 1860 in the Hartlepool district. I have found him on the 1861 census which shows his place of birth as Stockton but the line above shows Suffolk so this entry looks as though it may be an enumerators transcription error. I can't find him on any earlier census. Also I haven't been able to locate a Westinton in Suffolk.
In 1871 he is shown as a Seaman and in 1881 he is a Fishmonger. On the 1861 Census he is shown with Mariah his wife (this is probably Hannah Mariah Nayton) and three children, George, Frances and one other whose name I can't decipher. It looks as thought he died in 1883 in Middlesborough.
Can anyone help me identify his roots in Suffolk?
