Hi Andrew
You don't seem to have the "complete" family from 1851, so just in case ...
1851 Mildenhall, Suffolk
HO107/1793 folio 150 pp25-26
Address: "Burnt Fen"
(several households)
John Howlett, head, 65, ag lab, Ashfield Norfolk
Eliz do., wife, 56, Suffon Norfolk
Thos do., son, 16, Windham(?) Norfolk
Eliz do., daur, 14, Neathersom(?) Suffolk
Jas Woods, son in law, 30, ag lab, Windham(?) Norfolk
H(?) do., <daur?>, 24, Prickwillow Camb
Jas do., grandson, 5, Prickwillow Camb
C(something) do., grandson, 4, Mildenhall Suffolk
May (or Mary) do., granddaughter, 6m, Mildenhall Suffolk
I'm not sure of the birthplaces of Thomas, Elizabeth (daughter) or James (son-in-law)
It definitely looks more like Windham than Mendham. (The "i" is clearly dotted and there other Ms on the page.) But I assume you have Thomas's birthplace from other sources. "Neathersom" actually looks like "Neatherwin" but I can't find either place!
Hi Andrew
" I can add some clarification to the above census.
Jas = James Woods. he was born about 1821 at Mendlesham, Suffolk ( The enumerator was obviously illiterate and he made a complete hash of the birth places as a look at this family in 1861 will show. They were by then resident in Hilgay, Norfolk RG 9 1260 )
H = Hannah nee Howlett She was born about 1825 in Wymondham and married James Woods in 1844 at Holy Trinity Church, Ely. One their marriage certificate both were resident in Prickwillow which is where their eldest son, James was born in 1846.
C = Charles
and the 4 month old daughter is Mary.
How do I know all this? Well James Woods born in Prickwillow in 1846 was my mother's paternal grandfather and thus was my great grandfather."
regards Deborah Woods

Wymondham is of course pronounced in the way that the enumerator wrote it - we say Wind'am.

Thanks to everyone for their help on this one. It's been a while and i've made a little help with Deborah, Judy and Jo's help...
It seems that the Howlett family were from Wymondham and that the parents in the 1841 census were John Howlett and Elizabeth Gooding (née Poll).
The mystery remaining is who was Caroline Clark (my Gt Gt Gt Grandmother). After her 1855 marriage in Mildenhall to Thomas Howlett, I'm fine.. but prior to this, it's all a blur. Her marriage shows that her 'father' is "Alfred Woods (deceased)".
A step-father? No idea - there doesn't seem to be a suitable Alfred and Caroline on the 1841 census anywhere in the country.
Illegitimate? Maybe - but i'm struggling to find out to whom and where she was born.
An Emma Clark married Caroline's Howlett brother-in-law. Perhaps they were sisters? ... if so, then the family were living in a barn (yes, really!) in Isleham in 1841... but Caroline is missing.
bah... where's my wrecking ball?

Hi, Andrew,
I note you are looking for HOWLETT's in Suffolk. My Grandmother was Caroline Priscilla HOWLETT (1868-1940) Fressingfield, Suffolk. Father: William Henry HOWLETT (1831-1903). He had sisters Caroline HOWLETT (b.1829 Fressingfield), Priscilla(b.1835), Elizabeth (b.1837) Ellen (b.1841) and Mary Ann(b1844) plus brothers Charles (b.1833) and Arthur (b.1839).
William Henry's father was Robert HOWLETT (b. 1796 Fressingfield) who had married Priscilla ETHERIDGE (b.1807 Wingfield, Suffolk), a member of the ETHERIDGE family who originated in the Low Countries as EDRICHE and came over to England in the 1500's as wealthy merchants escaping the ravages of the roaming bands of unemployed soldiery roaming the country.
Judging by the similarity of names in our two branches of the HOWLETT family I would suggest that they are possibly the same family - it just needs a little search to find the relevant person(s) and dates.
Hope this will be of interest - and possibly a help.
Regards,
Brian
