* The Howards of Dover, Kent, England*

Updated November 16, 2004


I live in South Africa and have very little opportunity to investigate my family's origins first hand, so I would appreciate any information on the Howards, the Stonhams and the Morphetts from the Dover, Kent area of England or from Kent in general.

So far, all I have is as follows - and there may well be a mystery of sorts here ......

James Howard had a son, Frederick James Howard (born about 1833), we have presumed that Frederick had a second wife, Rebecca Morphett. She subsequently had a son, Percy Stonham Howard (born 18 Sep 1882) but no father's name was on the birth certificate. Rebecca died as Rebecca Kingsland widow of Henry Stonham. The origin of the Stonham in our name is unclear. My father, also a Percy Stonham Howard (born 13 July 1903of Percy and Florence Gertrude Putley) had two brothers, Kenneth (born 23 May 1910) and Vernon (born 10 April 1914). Information about my cousins - all living - is relatively easily available.
