    Notes 
    • brother and sister marry sister and brother; Could well be a brother of James b 1794 Tacolneston?
      Indeed: 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's father and hence the brother of James.
    • Worth noting that a William Howes was the reputed father of a James Blomfield, son of Mary, AND that a witness to William's father's wedding was a John Rush.

      There may be a connnection here to the Stanfield Hall murders of 1849. See:
