John HOWELL (1686-?)

and Anne PLAW (1688-?)

 

John Howell and Anne Plaw may have been my 7x Great Grandparents.  (Click here to see their possible place in my pedigree chart.)  They married on 30 October 1709 at St. Nicholas in Brighton, Sussex.

John Howell may have been baptised on 3 January 1686/7 at St. Nicholas in Brighton, and have been the son of John Howell (c1645-?) and Lettice.  He died after 1721.  A John Howell of Brighton left a will in 1742.

Anne Plaa was baptised on 20 January 1688/9 at St. Nicholas in Brighton.  She was the daughter of Robert Plaw (c1660-?) and Johanna Payne (c1665-?), although in the baptism register her parents names were recorded as Robart and Hanah.  Her sister Elizabeth Plaw also married a John Howell in 1726.
