I Am Looking for Thomas William Howitt Born About 1820 He is the Father of Thomas Wm Howitt Born 1860 IN Kensington Also of Emma 1855 and Edward 1864 ...
In 1861 census she was living in Cobden Terrace, Norland Rd, Kensington. No husband present but she is described as "shoemaker's wife". I cannot find a marriage, but Thomas William Howitt is named as father of the children. In 1870 she married Obediah Brown and moved, with the children, to Sussex.
There was a Thos Wm living in Putney, he was a boot and shoe maker, with a wife and lots of children!
Is it possible that he was running two families? If so, how can I find out? Whoever he was, he is my great great grandfather.
Hmm, I think I see something about him
what do you see??
I have just found this site and this question. I am also looking for the elusive Thomas William Howitt who is my husband's GG Grandfather through his son Thomas William born in 1860. I would like to know if anyone has solved this mystery which we have been working on for years. I have copies of all the childrens birth certificates now but still a dead end.
Thank you.
