I'm wondering if the 2nd column is:
Anna Maria?

I don't think it is Anna as the last "a" would be much clearer, as it is in Maria.

William Edmund illegitimate son of Anna Maria Howes?

I agree with all except Anna.  I'm inclined to go with sillgen's comment on that.  Unfortunately, I can't see a good alternative.

Can't make out the year, but hopefully Edmund will be on the next census with his mother.

Hi, for me it would be useful to see a larger part of the page written in the same handwriting. It helps me to recognise letters and letter-groups from other entries that are easier to read. Just a thought.

(Think it's Ann rather than Anna - d of Edmund overlaps)
