Hi , I was wondering if someone could help me please with the ancestry of my 3GGF Charles Howell B1848 D1881
He married Charlotte Yates B1850 D1915 on 26/06/1871 in Cobridge, Christ Church, Staffordshire, England and had 3 children ; Thomas , Kezia ( My 2GGM ) & Charles .
A distant relative of mine gave me some information from an old diary of his great-grandfathers ( Kezia's son John Tunstall ) which read ; ........ my mothers father was Charles ( B1848 ) , his parents came from North Wales . His grandfather was sent to prison for being a Quaker .......Charles was killed in 1881 at The Kings Arms , broad Street in Hanley , Staffordshire . After that Charlotte married William Poole ........ Mother told me that the Howells were a rich family who owned a small village in North Wales ......
I have found this Charles Born about 1848
Charles Howell bpt 5 Mar 1848 Tunstall (near Stoke-upon-Trent), Stafford
son of Charles & Mary Howell
I cannot be sure which Charles Howell is on the 1851 census but I think I have found them on the 1861 Census
RG9/1929/75 p2 Burslem
Charles Howell Head 41 Salop , Ellesmere , Shropshire
Mary Howell wife 36 b Cockshutt , Shropshire
Edward Howell 15 b Burslem
Charles Howell son 9 b Burslem
Richard Howell 3 b Tunstall
Harriet Howell 8/12 b Burslem
Richard Turner 21 Salop , Ruewood , Shropshire
I am still struggling to find the surname of Charles wife Mary , is it this one ?
Charles Howells Dec qtr 1844 Wem RD Shropshire
Volume 18 Page 287
then I searched UKBMD and this came up for HOWELLS
HOWELLS Charles WILLIAMS 1848 Tunstall Staffordshire Stoke-On-Trent TUN/011/060
I think this is the one that matches the most .... what do you think ?
If so where do I go from here as I keep hitting a brick wall
Thanks for your time
Debs
