Hello List, My greatgrandfather, James HOWELL, married my greatgrandmother,Susan ALLEN, on 25th Feb 1877 at St. Andrew's Parish Church, Manchester.His father was named as James HOWELL, cabinetmaker. The 1881 and 1891 censuses give his place of birth as Stoke On Trent, Staffordshire. I have been unable to find out when he came to Manchester, his correct birth c. 1856-8, or anything more about his father. Can anybody help? Best wishes, Linda

Thanks for the response but I don't recognize the info you provided as part of my family line.
