      The number of children did puzzle me....I thought it said 0...but then I thought why would they put that and not leave it blank.

      I couldn't tell if it meant mother or wife Caroline.

      Could you tell what it says his real name was?

      Thanks for looking.

        yep...

        it says John Algar Howill... so perhaps he was stealing from a relative?

        would the others be Caroline his wife, then his brothers/sisters?

          I just wondered whether "M Caroline" should read "W Caroline" - which would agree with Julie's suggestion:
          would the others be Caroline his wife, then his brothers/sisters?
