My family moved to Sheffield in the 1870s. to work at Osborn Mushet (a steelworks). Near to them in Sheffield in 1881 is living Emma J Howells, born in Lane End, Coleford. She is a servant to Hellen Aitchison (an annuitant), who originated in Scotland and Mrs. Aitchison's two daughters: Hellen and Louisa (also born in Scotland) both teachers, one taught music.
I am wondering that, as Emma Howells came from the same place as my Rook family, whether she might be related to them in some way? I have looked for her on this database and on Familysearch.org but haven't found her apart from being listed in the 1881 census. Does anyone know of this person and whether she might be related? I have never heard of anyone saying any other relative moved with the family (apart from one moving to Barnsley) though I am aware that five more families moved to Sheffield from Coleford at the same time as my family did. I know all the other family names and none of them is Howells though that is not to say she might be related to them or not related to any of them! (The other families were Hancox, Tomlinson, Phelps, Brookfield and Turton).
