John HOWELL (1751-?)

and Ann MOORE (c1750-?)

John Howell and Ann Moore married by banns on 25 May 1774 in Brighton, Sussex.  He was then John Howell, junior and they were both of Brighton.

John Howell may have been baptised on 30 June 1751 in Brighton, and have been the son of John Howell (1730-?) and Rose Pitman (1730-?).

Ann Moore's date and place of birth/baptism are unknown, to me.  She died a widow after 1823.  She was appointed a joint executrix of her son John's will.

John Howell and Ann Moore had 6 known children:

1. Elizabeth Howell was baptised on 18 June 1774 in Brighton and buried there on 26 August 1774.

2. John Howell was baptised on 9 July 1775 in Brighton and buried there on 13 August 1775.

3. John Howell was baptised on 24 May 1776 in Brighton.  He died aged 42 years in Ship Street, Brighton and was buried on 30 October 1818 in Brighton.  He was described in the burial register as Mr. John Howell.  He left a will which was dated 28 August 1817 and proved on 29 August 1823, in which he described himself as an innkeeper of Brighton.  He appointed his wife and his mother, Ann, as joint executrixes.

   John married Hannah Howell by licence on 28 August 1802 in Brighton.  John was a bachelor and Hannah a spinster.  They were both of Brighton and both signed their names.  The witnesses were George Howell and someone whose name I can not read.  It is unlikely there were any children from this marriage as John did not name any in his will.

   Hannah may have died aged 59 years and have been buried on 29 August 1829 in Brighton.  If so then she may have been baptised on 9 February 1770 in Brighton and have been the daughter of John Howell and Sarah Robinson.  However, there were 2 other Hannah's born about the same time, on 24 May 1775, the daughter of Thomas Howell (1737-?) and Ann Marsh and on 13 January 1782, the daughter of John Howell (1751-?) and Sybil Westmore (c1751-1814).

4. Ann Howell was baptised on 5 Feb 1778 in Brighton.  She married Francis Mockford by licence on 21 December 1800 in Brighton.  He was then a bachelor and she a spinster and they were both of Brighton.  They had the following children:

   1. John Howell Mockford was baptised on 7 February 1802 in Brighton.  He was mentioned in his uncle John's will.
