Pete, thanks for 1841, I found it helpful too!
Fliss, I think we're looking for the same people. 1851 as follows:
1701/136/1 f. 27:
Harris's Lane Shenley (2 households along from The Rookery):
Thomas Howard Head Widower 57 Plumber & Glazer Shenley Herts
Mary Ann Howard Daughter U 30 Bucks
Caroline Howard do do 27 Shenley Herts
Thomas Howard Son do 21 Shenley Herts
Letitia S.Howard Daughter do 15 Shenley Herts
Isabella King Niece do 9 Middlesex
James Smith Nephew do 5 Hertfordshire
Emma Palmer Daughter Married 20 Shenley Herts.
f. 49 (v)
Shenley Hill
Ann Howard Head Widow 73 Independent Herts, St. Peters
f. 53 (v)
Rowley Green
William Howard Head Mar 55 Farmer of 20 Acres Herts St. Michels
Susan Do Wife Mar 53 Farmer's Wife Do St Stephens
Caroline Do Daur U 22 At Home / Farmer's Daur Herts Shenley
Harriett Do Do U 17 Do / Do Do Do
also [sorry didn't note page!]
Shenley
William Howard Head Mar 28 Ag Labourer Middx South Mims
Jane Do Wife Mar 25 Herts Shenley.
My interest is in an Isabella Howard, daughter of a Thomas Howard, a painter, from Shenley. She was already working in London by 1841. I think this Isabella King age 9 in 1851 may be her daughter, but I reckon she ought to be granddaughter not niece here, if this is the right Thomas!
Cheers!
