1841 census or baptism records for Torrington

[DebbieG]

Hi

I am trying to find out who the parents of George Howe born 1816 in Torrington were - he became a baptist minister and married Charlotte (nee Crabbe) about 1845 - I am hopeing he might still have been with his parents in 1841

I am fairly sure his father was John How(e) - would be very intersted in any John Howe in Little Torrington

Thanks in advance

Debbie

 Hi Debbie,
These people are the only Hows in Little Torrington.  There  is a George 20 in Plympton Maurice and a George 25 in Woodbury, neither living with their family. Can post full details if you think anyone might be yours.

Hi Jan

Thank you for finding those for me - I suppose either of the 2 Georges could be mine - but I am not sure how I will tell - unless one of them is involved with the baptist church, by 1851 mine is married and is a baptist minister in Warminster Wiltshire,  the ones you found are probably relatives though - one of his sons was called Thomas

Thanks again

Debbie

Thank you so much for taking the time to look Jan

Wow Debbi - if you can find it I would be so grateful - however I am wondering if it might be a non-conformist one - still fingers crossed for anything you can find

Dear Debbie,

your fears may be correct as their was not George Howe baptised in Torrington 1814-1820, infact, no Howes of any christian name inbetween those dates.

I did however notice you say John Howe of Little Torrington,but I didnt have time to check for George there,but will do next time and try to find where the non conformist register is for the 2 towns.

Best wishes

Hi Debbi

Thank you very much for looking for me - I will keep my fingers crossed for next time - I have found by Googleing that there is a Howe Chaple non-conformist church in either Torrington or Little Torrington - I suspect this might be a possible

Thanks again

Debbie
