This is an extract from the 1881 Census Returns for Northumberland which includes Howtel.
Living at number 6 Howtel Village is Robert Peartes. Robert, aged 34 years, was the head of the household. Living with him were his wife, mother and father. His occupation was that of an Agricultural Labourer and he was born within Wooler Parish in Northumberland.
Census Returns are an excellent source when doing family history. The Northumberland Record Office holds microfilm and microfiche copies of the Northumberland Census Returns from 1841 to 1901.
