Hi Elin
Glad the trip to Stroud was at least a bit worth while. Both Stroud and Wotton are great places to walk round and the weather improved dramatically on Tuesday 
I'm sorry I missed out the year for Arthur Alfred Harmer Howell - it was 1851. I should be getting back to the library on Monday, I hope, and will look for your Adolphus etc then. Seems like the Adolphus Sue found is connected to AAHH - there can't be that many braziers of the same name in Stroud - perhaps Henry James married again. Anyway, he may fit in somewhere once you get far enough back.
Best wishes
Angela

Hi Elin
The good news is that I got back to Stroud library to have a look for your Howells. The bad news is that I could only find Adolphus 
What I did find was Adolphus's baptism -
Jan 1 1811 Adolphus son of Stephen Howell by his wife Ann Johnson dau. of John Selby. This sort-of matches with the IGI record except that I would read the IGI record to imply that Johnson was Ann's maiden name, whereas it looks like it was Selby.
On my way through, I noticed that Stephen Howell was one of the witnesses at a large number of weddings - presumably as churchwarden or whatever.....
Looking for Richard, I found that the fiche on Stroud library start at 1714 so you would need to look in Gloucester RO for that one as theirs start at 1624.
I was very puzzled about the Stephen you asked me to look for around 1730. I couldn't find him at all - mind you, some of the pages were very faint, so I can't absolutely guarantee he wasn't there, but I did check twice. When I next go back, do you want me to double check the birth entry for the Stephen of Stephen and Ann? The IGI has it at 1756, which would be about right for his marriage to Ann Selby in Cirencester in 1785. (Can't check Cirencester for you, unfortunately but someone else might be able to if you wanted)
Anyway, sorry about the limited success....
Best wishes
Angela

Hi Angela,
You are a love, as we say up here in Leeds!
If you wouldn't mind looking for Thomas and his siblings some time that would be brilliant. There is Margaret, abt. 1722, John abt. 1724, Jane, abt. 1732,
William, abt. 1737 and John, abt 1738. I would also be very interested if you could find the birth of Sarah Hawker, the wife of Thomas in abt. 1726.
Thomas died in abt. 1788 and it would be good to have a date for that.
Any information is really appreciated and very useful , but please only do what bits of you feel like doing.
Thanks a lot,
Elin

. Gulp! The second Stephen from 1730 should have read Thomas. I must have been have been in such a rush trying to type my message before you left for the library that morning that I slipped up. I really do apologise for that.
