I am trying to find information on Albert Howland born 1887 in Billericay, Essex. he had 8 children with a margaret jervis(jarvis) but never married her anyone know why? he married a Ruth Cakebread in 1922 and had 4 sons. one of these sons was born the same year as one of Margarets daughters with Albert. again any idea why? Also there is information i have found out from members of my family there was another child called Rose which has a different mother to margaret and ruth, any one know who this was, did Albert marry her mother.

Any clues would be extremely helpful.

There were several Albert Howlands in the Essex area, are you 100% certain the same one fathered all these children? Do you have ALL the birth certs & the marriage cert?

Hi, Linda -

First, please remove your email address from your post - it's against GR rules, and also not wise on a public site.
If Hannah (or anyone) wants to contact you, she can do so via GR.

Second, you've replied to an 8-yr-old thread.
Hannah probably isn't looking for replies here now. You can try sending her a private message (click on her name at the top of any of her posts). If she still uses the email address she registered with GR, she'll be notified that she has a message from you.

She may or may not reply!
