Mike,
I am a descendant of W.R. Howsley's son W.D. Howsley. I recently found out that W.R. had two wives. Margaret Ann Taylor, the first wife, was W. D.'s mother. If you have any information on W. R. Howsley previous to this I would sure appreciate some help and can give you info that I have. Thank you. Carolynne

My gg grandfather was William Robert Howsley also through his son William Davis Howsley. I have been told that W.R. was raised by his uncles, both Howsleys, but can't find anything to substantiate that. W.R. came to Texas to visit his sons about 1896,( letter to Albany News). Did you find that he moved to Texas? Nice to meet ya, Cuz.

Ruth White Howsley Yorkshire>Lafayette Co Wisconsin>Sutter Co CA

nvcuster — 2004-06-25 03:26:32Z

Ruth White Howsley was the daughter of Thomas and Margaret March White who immigrated from Yorkshire to Lafayette County WI in 1845. Ruth married first William Howsley with whom she moved to Gold Hill Nevada. After the death of William, Ruth Howsley moved to Sutter County CA where she married William's brother George. Ruth White Howsley has a large number of descendents--many still in the Sutter County area.

I have collected information for over 25 years about the family of Thomas and Margaret White who immigrated to White Oak Springs in Lafayette County, Wisconsin in 1845 from the North Riding of Yorkshire. I have finally managed to get it organized into a website. Included in the website is a summary of what is known about the ancestors of Thomas and Margaret and a bit about their descendents along with scans of photographs and family documents and some anecdotes about family members and/or events.

The introductory page to the website can be seen at
http://www.contexo.info/Thomas&MargaretWhite/index.html From there you will find links to the other pages.

Of special interest to a more general audience are transcripts of a set of letters to Thomas and Margaret White in England from Margaret’s parents George and Sarah March who had already settled in Wisconsin. The letters contain some details of their daily life in the early 1840’s and some very interesting instructions from Sarah to her daughter about what to bring on the trip to America.

Those transcripts can be found at http://www.contexo.info/Thomas&MargaretWhite/George&...

(The URL ends in Marchletters.htm.)

I hope the site will be of interest and enjoyment to all.

My GG name was Louis. Don't know the middle name. He did have a son named Louis. But everyone called him "L.A.". Hope this helps

From what I was told by my uncle a few years ago, the difference in the names, ie Howsley & Housley came around in the 1600s in England. Apparently, there were two brothers (details as yet still unknown), who had an almighty breakup. To dis-associate himself from the other, one of the brothers changed his name from Howsley to Housley. This has still to be proven, and could take quite a while.

Jennifer,
My great-great-grandfather was named William Robert HOWSLEY. This William was married to Margaret Ann TAYLOR. William and Margaret had three children, 3 boys and 1 girl. I have him and his family living in the Louisville, KY
area approx. 1860. If this looks like the right William Robert,
let me know and I will provide additional info. Is HOWSLEY your maiden name or married name?
Mike

My great great grandfather was william robert howsley born in kentucky then moved to texas. sorry for the wait. we're unable to trace him past kentucky. We have no idea who is parents were. Thanks for your reply!

Re: Howsley family tree

JosephHowsley — 2003-07-15 06:52:30Z

My reply is meant for the lady saying her greatgrandmother was a Howsley born in Kentucky...That is where our lineage starts up and was wondering if you had information about you great grandmother's family. I believe it was my sister that posted the query about American Howsley's. Any information would be welcome.

Joseph Howsley, TX
P.S. Would like to think we came from an original line and not from the H O U housleys.

Peter,
I have had an initial search, but as yet, cannot retrieve any information from our Public Records website without knowing your Grandparents names. Please could you forward them to me. My e-mail address is rhowsley@btopenworld.com. I will send, by return, a list of ALL Howsley's that were registered on the 1901 UK census.

Regards

Richard

The Public Records Website will be opening up on the internet in the UK soon which will give details of all people born in the UK between 1801 and 1901. The website address is www.pro.gov.uk

Just a quick message after seeing your note. Just to inform you that the Howsley roots are in the U.K. and go back to at least the 17th century. I am compiling a family tree over here for the Howsley tree. My e-mail address is above but does not accept attachments, only text. Hope this is of assistance in your search over there.

Howsley family tree

Richard_Howsley — 2002-12-14 21:48:21Z

Sorry for the delay, I've had a full computer re-build. We are building up the family tree here in the UK. As far as we know, although not 100% confirmed yet, is that all Howsley's around the world are related one way or another. We have some branches of the tree that go back to the 1600's in Derbyshire, UK, but further details from then are very vague. A Howsley (my great great uncle) emigrated to Australia in the early 1900's. Searches there are not very forthcoming. I hope this helps. Regards..... RIchard
