• Notes

  Also staying at 1881 Census is Jane Delve a 64 - assumed to be Martha's sister, who would be 54. 1871 they are next to William Howe and his family, perhaps a brother - he also appears in the 1841 Census next door.... Parents were William and Elizabeth At the 1841 Census there is a John Howe, aged 4. If it is John's son, then this might be from Ann (TRACE) who he married in 1835 and may have died in 1838. I have found an IGI record for a John born to John Howe and Ann at Bow, bapt 9/9/1836.
