Anne Report 8 Mar 2013 19:39

I am looking for some information on George Smith Howell and his wife Susannah. They were born in Suffolk around 1843 and 1846 according to the 1901 census. I can't find any record of their marriage and they don't seem to appear on any earlier census'. I am trying to find some information on their parents.

Oh bother

Unless he changed from a shoe maker to a butcher then not the same family

Anne

Anne Report 8 Mar 2013 19:56

Yes it is the same family you have found in the 1901 census. And then Susannah in the 1911 census. Haven't looked for a marriage of George Howell and Susannah Calver. Thats worth looking for.
