Thank you for correction, submitted by Peter Howes, on: 2024/10/23 - Hi, Harold Howes is related to me via his brother, Frederick James Howes, my grandfather.
Killed in Action in Bersheba. Family lived in Islington as did I. Having researched our family history for many years I have no mention of a brother Augustus.
Joseph William in Canada is correct. I have no connection with wife Annie in Hull.
Father and mother are correct, except Annie was born in Fulham, London. Peterhowes@btconnect.com
