  	Election Address To the Burgesses of the East Ward of the Borough of Folkestone Ladies and Gentlemen In compliance with the request of a considerable number of the Bugesses of the East Ward, I venture to solicit your vote and interest at the forthcoming election for the Town Council. Having been resident in the town for a considerable period, I have noticed the increase and advance with much interest, and have been able to form some opinion of its requirements, and, should you honour me with your approval, I am prepapred to place the experience gained in a long and aactive business life at the service of my fellow ratepayers. There are many subjects of importance in the future welfare of our town, which must shortly count on for discussioin, and I should be prepared to enter them unboased by and party consideration, and solely with a view to the general benefit. I have the honour to remain, Ladies and Gentlemen Your obedient servant GEORGE WILLIAM HOWSE West Cliff Hotel, Oct 23rd, 1873 =========================== The very same page of the newspaper also contains an advertisement for George Howse, Wine and Spirit Merchant and Refreshment contractor AND the following notice I HEREBY solemnly declare that a report that Mr GEORGE WILLIAM HOWSE of the West Cliff Hotel, Folkestone is or has ever been in any way connected with me or my family, is utterly false and malicious. I never had any transaction whatever with him in my life, and until a few days back, he was an utter stranger to me. Signed MARY ANN HOWES, 65 Dover Street Witness: Elizabeth Payne October 31, 1873 =========================== Postscript: a week later, the same newspaper reports that George received only 68 votes, placing him third on the list of four candidates for two seats on the town council

  Occupation	13 Mar 1880  [2]
  	Gentleman
  Notes	George a widower upon marriage to Ellen Groom definitely signed the register for his second marriage as Howse (despite the father's surname) Perhaps interesting to note that in several advertisements for establishments he ran, George stressed the availability of billiard tables. Maybe there is nothing to it but there was a well-known billiard player in the 19th century called George Howse ALso maybe relevant is that similar adverts to the others were placed by a George Howse for the Yacht Tavern in Greenwich in 1865 Curious that a George Howes from Brighton is in Greenwich in 1861, but that man is 71 and has a 14 year old son, John, with him baptized in Marylebone 1817?
