Hello,
Interested in your Elizabeth Howe, Father: William Howe. I am looking for the birthplace of my Frank Howe b@1850 Fath: William Howe Moth: Sarah Roper/Roeper Howe. He also named his children Sarah and Hannah. I cannot locate where in England he was born. Did your Elizabeth have a brother named Frank?

Thanks
Sue Reed/Collinsville, Il :)

Sorry, no. Doesn't seem to be a connection.

No, no brother named Frank. The children were Elizabeth (1826), Jane (1826), John (1827), Lucy (1830), Eli (1837) and Hiram (1838) all born in Sutton Bonnington, Nottingham.
