Ozibird, Please could you look at the other family of Howells in the next household in 1851. TIA Gail

Can not find him in 1881 Maureen

Reg, That's what I thought. Just wondered if we could find out which of Sarah & Jermiah's daughters was his mother? Obviously not without birth cert, so might go down that route. Thanks Gail

Maureen, Yes, that's him. He's married to Annie M Stockwell and there's definately a Yorkshire connection. Thanks Gail

This will answer your question.......... Name: Edwin Minton Year of Registration: 1867 Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun District: Leominster County: Herefordshire, Hereford and Worcester Volume: 6a Page: 553 I would suggest that he was illegitimate, as Sarah and Jeremiah do not appear to have produced any sons, so you will not be able to find out who his father was.

Maureen, That's the correct marriage of Sarah and James (Sarah's 2nd). I believe that Edwin is the son of one of Sarah's daughters from her 1st marriage (to Jeremiah MInton). Thanks Gail

Thanks Ozbird, Sarah b. 1818 marries James Matthews after the death of Jeremiah, so I'm assuming that one of her daughters is Edwin's mother, but can't find out which one. Gail

I'm trying to find the parents of Edwin Minton b. 1867/8 in Kingsland, Herefordshire. In 1871 census he is living with G.parents James & Sarah Matthews in Kingsland. By 1881 James & Sarah are living alone. Thanks Gail
