Richard Howell & Sarah Clark

[jaco]

I have been trying to confirm that this family are the ancestors of Susannah Howell.

The information I have found so far is as follows

Richard Howell married Sarah Clark 22 Feb. 1779, North Bradley, Wiltshire

Births found for their children :-
- Hilary Clark Howell 13 June 1779 St. Lawrence, Rode, Somerset.
       Another record showed Millery Clark Howell same birth date & details.
   John Howell 9 Oct 1780 St. Lawrence, Rode, Somerset
    Jane Howell 25 Jan 1784 St. Lawrence, Rode, Somerset,
            married Joseph Walker, 31 Oct 1808, St. Lawrence, Somerset

2 Other Children I haven't been able to find birth records for are;
     Susannah Howell married Joseph Cook 2 Nov 1807, Rode, Somerset.

      Amelia Clarke Howell appears on the following Census
      1841  "previous household" is Jane Walker(nee Howell)
      1851  with Joseph & Susannah Cook(nee Howell) as sister
      1861 with Thomas & Sarah Prosser (nee Cook) as Aunt.
     
Amelia Clarke Howell death certificate 16 April 1869 Wiltshire - Sarah Prosser as informant

I could not find a baptism for Susannah or Amelia but I did find this on free reg.

St Lawrence Rode Somerset 2 Nov 1807
Joseph COOK bachelor of this parish married Susanah HOWELL spinster of this parish

Witnesses John GEORGE & Jane HOWELL

I think you may now have enough circumstantial evidence to confirm the links.

Thank you Colin

As you said it looks like I may have the right family - I will now research further into this Howell family.
