his brother, James Howey, is my gr-grandfather.


Stella Bacon   07 Jun 2009 

My grandfather James Howey,was a miner at Pelton Fell Colliery. Robert Howey, who tombstone is above was his brother. Their father Robert Howey and his wife Mary lived in Grange Villa, where my mother was born. When my grandparents moved south in 1930 my mother lost touch with the family. I would like to make contact with any relatives (cousins of my mother or their children) who are still live in the area.


Karen Davies   30 Sep 2009 

My husband is a great grandson of Harriet McQuillan nee Howey b.1854, she was sister to Robert William Howey b.1856 father of the above Robert & James. Harriet, her husband & 2 children immigrated to Brisbane, Queensland, Australia in 1876 & then settled in New South Wales.
