At this time Charles was about 51 years old and Sophia was 28. _1__§_4_1_ Charles is listed in the census as a registered veterinary surgeon, aged 70, living in Union Street at house number 54. There are now several children listed. The eldest, Catharine, is 25 years old thus pre-dating the marriage between Charles and Sophia (now 45), and so is probably the daughter of his first wife. The following are the children of the second marriage:- Samuel (16) ~ an apprentice tailor Charles and Mary (15) — probably twins Richard (14) George (11) Henry (6) A tombstone just outside the East end of the church in Bridge churchyard (no 173) records the death of Charles: ‘ In memory of Charles Edward Howard, late of this parish, who departed this life 20 May 1842, aged 71 years. Also of Sophia, wife of the above, who departed this life 25”‘ August 1861 aged 69 years.’ Sophia therefore was widowed for 19 years. _1_8_§1_ The census shows Sophia (58) working as a nurse. Her address is now given as Bridge village, house 92. Only two of her children are still living with her: r-I N Mary Ann (28) — unmarried — earning a living as a shirt maker Henry (16) — unmarried Both listed as born in Bridge. There is some discrepancy here over Mary’s age. If she was 15 in 1841 she should now be 25. If she is correctly shown as 28 then she could be the eldest of the children and not a twin at all. What has happened to the other children? L8_6_1_ Now only Sophia listed as living in Union Road, house no. 110. There is no vet listed in the village. She died in this year — see above. 1865 There is a tombstone in Bridge churchyard recording: ‘ IHS In loving memory of Mary Ann Howard, born October 26”‘ 1842, died June 19”‘ 1865 ‘ This cannot be the daughter of Charles and Sophia. Who is she? Charles William Howard (47) listed in the census as a coursing judge and Veterinary surgeon. He was born in Bridge. His age fits roughly with that given for Charles Edward’s son.(would be 45/46?). It would also make sense that he would follow his father into the profession. His wife, Anne Maria, born in the parish of Lubbenham in Leicester, is 1 71 now 35. 187 Charles William 18 1 Charles K20) 1891 Charles W 47 Coursing judge & Veterinary surgeon Died Sept 10”‘ 1908, aged 35 years.
