Answer 1

Hello,

So far I have found he is the son of Thomas James Howell and Mary Jane Smart in 1891 he had a brother Frank Howell that was two years old.   Thomas Howell was an carpenter and by the 1901 cencus Thomas was dead leaving his wife to raise the boys. 1911 has Herbert Thomas Howell married  to a Beatrice Agneta Zoe Bury and by 1931 they were divorced. Herbert was in WWI between 1914 and 1920 as a Driver, Royal Field Artillery Reg No. 2117.  He died from drowning in 1951 and his job was as a Analytical Chemist India.

If any of this is of any help let me know, I will continue to look for more information and pass it along to you.
