Hi again Andy, why is this Caroline so relevant to this search, are the "Census"  ages you show from the same census as it would appear Albert is approximately 20 years older than Ethel?
Also I cannot locate a birth registration of both an Ethel Margaret Warren or a Caroline Howgego in the time frame!

And why pick a Suffolk Albert/Ethel?


Found Albert EDWARD Howgego he was 41 and single in 1911?

And Ethel Margaret HOWGEGO 22 was single living in Woodbridge?
So a Howgego to a Howgego marriage?

Should also point out as the Ethel Margaret HOWGEGO in the above 1911 was b c 1889, their is a death of an Ethel M Howgego June qtr 1966 Gipping 4b 874 aged 77?

And finally, how do you know the medals you purchased have anything to do with your family?

Not sure which Albert you are looking at but 30 September 1916 in the Essex Newsman (Romford Area)
Albert Howgego who was age 28 and single  (born 1888 )  a Hay & Straw merchant applied for further Exemption on Business grounds.  I believe this would have been exemption from WW1

To clarify this one, her name at death was Ethel Constance Benfield b 4th August 1924 and died May 2002 Colchester, Essex, she was the daughter of Albert Howgego b 1888 and Ethel MAY Howgego?

Re the (further) exemption of the Albert of Lake's Cottages, Dagenham in September 1916
 " two months was granted, no further appeal to be made without permission."

On the 1918 electoral roll, that Albert was at Lake's Farm Cottages, an absent NM voter.
Ditto spring 1919.
But in autumn 1919 he was not listed at the address and, if it's the same Albert at another address in Dagenham then he was no longer in the forces.

So the dates from the SWB roll for Albert Howgego, Labour Corps, 530473, enlisted 1 January 1917, discharged 1 August 1919 could fit the Dagenham man.

Dagenham Albert does appear to be the chap marrying Ethel (May) Warren in the appropriate district in Dec qtr 1918. He would still have been in the army.
Wouldn't the marriage certificate tell you what regiment or corps he was in?

Albert and Ethel had a son born 19 November 1919, died Southend 2003 -
Albert E Howgego, birth registered Dec qtr 1919, Romford
In the death indexes, however,  he is Albert Reginald Howgego.

Hi again, and to complete the family of Albert Howgego and Ethel MAY Warren:-

Death Ethel May Howgego born 28th June 1894 Death Sept 1973 Hove, Sussex

That son Albert born 1919 is transcribed as Howgege on FreeBMD. Whatever that middle initial E on the birth reg was all about, seems that he married in Romford district in Sep 1941 (Albert R Howgego)
If Albert and Ethel had only the two children, then it comes down to whether you are descended from Albert Reginald Howgego?
If so, I would consider getting the 1918 marriage certificate of his parents. Should also help you with the medal.
