Recently came across a family tree for Robert Howe of HBO, b. 2 Feb 1569/70 m. Margaret WHITMORE, 2 ch., Abraham and James. Have tried local Hertfordshire church records to find their marriage, but no luck, next will try Essex, any other suggestions? D. Howe

Two thoughts, 1 Have you tried the Allen Index which has marriages for all Hertfordshire Parishes 2 A number of Hertfordshire people went to London to marry especially if near enough so a look in Phillimore Regards Tony ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: "HERTFORDSHIRE LIST" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, March 08, 2008 3:47 PM Subject: [HRT] Robert HOWE > Recently came across a family tree for Robert Howe of HBO, b. 2 Feb > 1569/70 m.

The IGI shows a marriage of a Margaret WHITMORE to a John HOWE in 1584 at Hatfield Bread Oak, Essex. There are also references to an Abraham HOWE born about 1576 in Hatfield Essex. and his marriage in 1597 also Hatfield. I think Hatfield Bread Oak should have read Hatfield Broad Oak as there is a Parish of this name (or Hatfield Regis) in Essex. You will find the site http://www.historyhouse.co.uk/essexh06.html both interesting and helpful regarding records of this place. Maggie.
