Many thanks Paul. Yes, they are my family. They are one of my brick walls!
Job HOWELL is my direct descendent. He walked out on his family circa 1890
leaving no trace - wonder if he emigrated.
His mother, Mary TOVEY died (I think) between 1871 and 1881. Eli HOWELL
remarried an Elizabeth - possibly WATKINS.
I'm now trying to prove who their parents were - another brick wall!

I just took a quick look at Mike John's website and could not find the
baptisms
or marriage, but I was not thourogh; baptisms often took place in the mother
or
father's home town/parish.
I forgot this group even existed. You may want to consider the Monmouth
Family
History Yahoo Group that you can join from Mike's Website
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~monfamilies/monfh.htm
or the Monmouthshire Rootsweb Group. Both are more active.

Subject: [MONGWE] HOWELL & TOVEY
Looking for information on Eli HOWELL 1823 -1899 and his first(?) wife
Mary
TOVEY 1821(?). I believe Eli's parents were Evan HOWELL and Ann DAVIS and
Mary's parents were Job TOVEY and Martha DAVIES. Any further information
and
dates would be appreciated.
Many thanks
Sheila Alderson
