Hi Pauline

It's good to have the 1851 census record too - definitely seems to be same family as 1841 - interesting too that Thomas Howels is now listed as Thomas Hore.

I looked on FreeBMD and found-
WOORE Eliza reg Dec1842 Ross
WHORE Harriot Whore reg Dec 1843 Ross (Whore is given as a surname and also first name)

Even if Anne was born c1801 as the 1851 census suggests, she still could not be the Ann Howells who married James in 1807 but she might possibly be his step daughter which might explain the confusing information for the baptisms of the three Howell children in Goodrich.

James born c 1778 at Welsh Bicknor remains a bit of a mystery as there is no baptism for him at Welsh Bicknor unless he is older than stated on the 1851 census. There seems to be a gap in the available baptism records for Welsh Bicknor before 1771 but hopefully the records for Goodrich may throw up some new information when they become available on-line. It would be interesting to see if there is a burial between 1804 and 1807 for the Ann who married James Woore in 1804 and also if there are any children from the marriage.

I guess we will need to be patient!
