William HOWELL - 1871 and 1881 census

[Anna_C]

Hi,

I am trying to locate a William HOWELL, born 1823, Whitchurch, Glamorgan, on the 1871 and 1881 census. (Presumably for Wales, although there is the possibility he could be on the England census.) His wife is Ann HOWELL, nee LONG, and known children are Margaret (1850), James (1847), William (1855) and David (1862).

Thanks in advance,
Anna

Thanks for the help there! 

Hadn't considered the possibility that he might be dead -no wonder I couldn't find him! 

Thanks again,
Anna

Hi again,

Now having trouble finding the new family (William and Ann John) on the 1881 census. If anyone could find them would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Anna
