Essex / LITSON / HOWSEGO
« on: Tuesday 13 January 09 12:43 GMT (UK)  »
Following a previous post on my Howsego family I have found out a little bit more information and am now looking for relatives in the Howsego/Litson family.

My great grandad was George Howsego, born 1904 in West Ham, his mother was Emily Howsego (nee Morris) and he had numerous brothers and a sister: Arthur, William, Albert and Martha. His father was William Frederick Howsego which is sometimes registered as Frederick William.

In 1911 Emily Howsego was living with her children in West Ham, but the head of the house was John Litson, who she went on to marry in the 1st Qrt of 1923. However, William Frederick Howsego did not die until the 4th Qrt of 1923. So i assume that they divorced at some point.

This is the only info i have on the Howsego side of my family and would really appreciate any help.

Travelling People / Having a nightmare - Howsego/Housego
« on: Thursday 12 June 08 12:59 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to research part of my tree, the surname Howsego/Housego but I am having a complete nightmare!

I know one half of my tree were Romanys, the Buckley family (decending from Joe Buckley) and they married Howsegos, so I am wondering if they too were a travelling family.

So far all I have managed to find is my great grandad George Howsego born in West Ham in 1903, along with his 2 brothers, Arthur born in 1900 and William John born in 1901.  Their parents were William Frederick (sometimes listed the other way around) and Emily (nee Morris).

I have Georges birth, marriage and death certificate.  His parents marriage certificate and a death certificate for William Frederick.  I have a marriage certificate for William John, he married Lylie Butcher in 1925 in West Ham.

After this I am at a complete dead end!! I cannot find any information whatsoever on Arthur apart from his birth certificate, and have no information for their mum or any more siblings.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Travelling People / BUCKLEY, LEE, BIGGINTON & HOWSEGO
« on: Wednesday 31 May 06 14:00 BST (UK)  »
I am in the process of doing my family tree, my ancestors were Romanys:  the names i have links to so far are: BUCKLEY, LEE, SMITH, TAYLOR.

I also have the name Bigginton, which is my g-g nans maiden name, her first name was Hannah but she was known as Annie.  The problem is that i cannot find any information about this name anywhere!  She was married to Duriah Buckley (son of Frank and Elvira Buckley) - i know that most of the family were settled in the Canning Town and West Ham areas but that is not necessarily where the orginated, as Frank and Elvira were born in Suffolk.  There is a record of an Annie Lee marrying Duriah Buckley - so i dont know if she just lied about her name when she got married.

Also the name Howsego - im not sure if this is a Romany name or not, as i havent managed to find any information about this name either really.  My g-grandad was George Howsego and he married Annie (see above) and Duriahs daughter Hilda Buckley.  Georges parents were called Frederick William (sometimes it is recorded the other way around) and Emily Morris - they also lived in the Canning Town and West Ham area.  This is all the information that i can get though.

If anybody could help me i would be so so grateful.   :)
