he and Susannah moved to the nearby village of Ryton-on-Dunsmore, Warwickshire

Apart from isolated records which have come to my attention his life has not
been researched.

Bromwich Staffs with 2nd wife, Elizabeth; and in 1881 the couple were living at
100 Hallam Street, West Bromwich where George was described as a retired

Like his father Robert became
a Plush Weaver in the village of Bloxham, near Banbury, Oxfordshire. In 1837 he
was described as a Pauper and the family was living in the Banbury Workhouse.
So Robert moved to Coventry with his wife and young family together with his 2
brothers, William and George, in around 1839. For a couple of years they lived
in the smelly, overcrowded, central areas of the City. However by 1842 they had
moved out a few miles to the Foleshill area, then a spread out group of small
hamlets etc.
From 1851 to 1881 the family were living in the Hall
Green district of Foleshill, just a few groups of cottages in a rather flat
rural area. |

James and Mary's first child,
Edward Reading Howe, was born in Dunchurch in June 1815 but died at 1 year old.
They had 2 more children in Dunchurch. About 1820 they moved to Foleshill,
Coventry. James was a Publican between 1821-1835 in Foleshill, running the
Prince William Henry Public House on the main Foleshill Road. They had 8 more
children.
In 1841 James was in Coventry Gaol (reason not known) and Mary
was a coal dealer at Well Street in central Coventry with the children. By 1851
James was back with the family, now in Cook Street, Coventry and described as a
Brewer.
It is believed he died about 1858.
* The 2nd christian
name of Reading is interesting. So far no reason for this has been found
although there was a Reading family living very close to Dunchurch at the

| General Notes: |
I am not absolutely certain
about Elizabeth's birth as there was another possible baptism. In view of the
place of her marriage and stated age at death I think she was the Elizabeth
Walker born and christened at Steeple Aston in 1786. However there was also an
Elizabeth Walker christened in Banbury in 1788. Banbury being nearer to Bloxham
where her husband was from. So there is always the slight possibility that it
could be this Elizabeth and the couple went to Steeple Aston. |

Martha seems to have lived
her early life in the pretty village of Cropredy just north of Banbury on the
Warwickshire / Oxfordshire border. She was married in Cropredy but it is not
known exactly where the couple lived after that..certainly it was in the
Banbury area. In 1837 they were destitute and living in the Banbury Workhouse
where their son John was born.
Around 1838-9 William and Martha, decided to
move the 30 miles to Coventry where there was more work. After arriving in
Coventry William and Martha first lived in West Orchard, in the centre
of the city, but soon moved to nearby Spring Grove (near the present Cox
Street), Coventry. In 1861 and 1871 they were living in Leicester Street
where Martha died in 1877. |

Caleb died in 1909 in

years. |
|
|
| General:
|
General: Eliza's early
life is obscure. In the 1851 Census she was at Hill Street, and in 1861 she was
in nearby Spon Street, Coventry with her parents .
After her marriage to
Caleb the couple were in Hill Street btween 1871and 1877.
By 1881 they had
moved out of the city about 1 mile to Radford (Common), where they
stayed until about 1890.
Then Eliza apparently ran off to the north of
England with her lover, a builder's labourer, who was said to be working on a
nearby Public House. She took 4 year old Sarah Jane with her but left the baby
Annie and other children with husband Caleb.
It seems she settled in
Sheffield with her new partner, Thomas Alexander.
In 1892 Eliza gave birth
to a son also named Thomas Alexander. It was difficult to find her in the 1901
Census as she was recorded as Elizabeth Nicholls living with partner Thomas in
Sheffield. Her daughter Sarah, aged 15, was found living and working as
Domestic Servant at the house of a Clergyman and family in Sheffield.
Eliza
must have kept in touch with the family she left behind in Coventry because in
1909, very soon after the death of her husband Caleb, she remarried in
Sheffield to Thomas Alexander, the man she had been living with. Nothing
more can be found so far about Eliza. It is known that her daughter Sarah
returned to Coventry in her late teens and married and settled down there. |
