Hampshire & IOW Lookup Requests / Re: James Howe, and son? Joseph Howe
« on: Thursday 16 February 23 18:46 GMT (UK) »
It turns out that Norfolk Records Office had a document "FEL 1017" shed more light upon the conveyance of a manor in Netheravon, Wiltshire sold by a Joseph Howe and his wife Elizabeth in 1738 to the 3rd Duke of Beaufort. The family origins of this Joseph Howe remain unknown however, we did learn the following - a report below from a Norwich-based genealogist who visited the NRO.
Perhaps we can learn more about this Joseph Howe from Middlesex records.
"Here is the information I found in FEL 1017 (see attached), This
indicates that the manor of Netherhavon previously belonged to the
grandfather of Joseph’s wife! She was the heir of Richard Kitson
gentleman of Wiltshire. Joseph is described as being of St Sepulchre’s
parish, Middlesex. It seems Joseph Howe and his wife were married at St
Sepulchre’s church in London on 7 October 1721 (from online indexes). I
am intrigued by the fact that Joseph’s profession was given as a
lapidary in 1721, but by 1739 he was a chocolate maker!"
The contents contained the following:
