Hi Marilyn Thank you very much for your information & I am happy to have found another cousin. (I would guess about 6th) It looks as if I have a few more late nights & a bit more research to do. If you would like any part of my tree please email me off list. I have the basics at http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=fataussie214 or I am on Genes Reunited.

My Thomas was bapt 5 Mar 1738 the 5th child of William HOWES and Elizabeth SEWEL. Your Susannah was bapt 18 Oct 1747 the 7th and last child. William and Elizabeth were married 4 May 1726 in Aston le Wall There was just the one Howes family in Woodford at the time. So we our lines are connected. Marilyn
