Once more thanks for the speedy response. I was looking for Howells rather than Howell as she is listed as Howells on the Familysearch.org transcription of the 1881 census. I ought to know by now to look for similar names!
She is probably distantly related as one of my relatives (the nephew of the one who went to Sheffield) married someone who was a widow called Hale (Mrs. Hale nee Fox) and I notice that the daughter of George Howell is listed as Hale (but this is assuming she is listed as Hale not in error for Howell, i.e. if the name Hale is correct she is more likely to be Mr. Howell's step-daughter or other relative through marriage). The family you have found has a steel connection and is therefore likely to be accurate.
