    Notes 
    • From White's Gazetteer of Norfolk 1883 entry for FUNDENHALL: "William Howes, Esq., is lord of the rectory manor, and his farm suffered damage to the amount of £1470, in the great storm of hail and wind, on August 9, 1843. Many other farms in this neighbourhood suffered severely at the same time." William is shown as the farmer of Black Hall, Fundenhall, note not Wymondham

      A William Howes was churchwarden of Fundenhall in 1870 after its restoration

      In a draft deed in my possession from 1871, William Howes of Fundenhalll refers to James Howes as his paternal uncle. This is almost certainly the William. Thus his father is the brother of James.
