    Notes 
    • in marriage register, vicar wrote House but William clearly signed Howes
      Small caution: Scope for confusion exists, because a William Howe married a Mary Palmer at St Mary Major in Exeter in 1827
      Many online trees have a date of death or burial of 10 Jan 1864, but nowhere have we yet seen a source for this fact
