Hello,
I'm hoping to find descendants of George Howell b. c.1793, bur. 25 Oct.1850, Banwell, and his wife Grace Fry bap. 23 Oct 1814, Kewstoke. Bur. St Anne's, Hewish (with her 2nd husband, Joseph Palmer), 23 Oct 1906.
George and Grace's 2nd son, John (in photo), emigrated to New Zealand at 16. He's my GG grandad.
Their other surviving sons were ; Henry, d. Waldeck-Villa, Walliscote Rd, Weston-super-Mare 2 July 1899. Wives: Ann Ham, Caroline Coles nee Russell.
George, bur. St. Anne's, Hewish. Wife Jane Curry.
Robert b. 1921 St Andrew's, Banwell with wives, Mary Ann Palmer and Emily?
James bap Banwell 7 Sept 1848, death unknown. (There was a previous James who died as an infant, bap 9 Aug 1846 and buried 19 June 1847, St Andrew's, Banwell)
After George died in 1850, Grace had 2 more sons to unknown fathers, both baptised as Howell:
William Morgan, born 20 March 1852
Joseph, born 19 Oct 1854. Both deaths unknown.
Henry was born in Kewstoke. Grace's family from Kewstoke. Daughter of Joseph Fry and Mary Cox. Joseph was 'bastard son' of Betty Fry. Mary, daughter of James and Ann Cox of Wick, St Lawrence.
All the other Howell boys were born and baptised in St Andrew's, Banwell, living around Rolstone, Banwell, Puxton area.
One discrepancy on my John's death certificate says his father's name was John. Other details match. Some discrepancy with dates, which I'm not too worried about. So would love to hear from anyone who also has this ancestry to 'break the wall' finding out where George Howell was from.
I have a public Ancestry tree which I've tried to map out the family, JenkinsKerrieMarie. I have also done the DNA test. Gedmatch Kit is A274929.
Amazingly to me I have a DNA match with someone else with ancestry from Kewstoke. His ancestor was buried 2 before my G x 4 grandfather Joseph Fry! No relationship proved on paper for that one, but amazing to think that our ancestors were rubbing shoulders back then.
A big thank you for making the results of all your hours of work accessible. Such a wonderful site you have created.
Many thanks
