You say Thomas was only able to afford to look after kids of his own - do you know that he had children? Have you found him on any records apart from the marriage? |

So we don't know which name is correct, and his occupation has changed from engineer to fisherman within 2 months. I assume they are the same person, is he recorded as her husband on the death certificate? |

What was the brother-in-laws name? He could be Thomas's brother of her sisters husband. |

i bet when he went to register the death the registrar asked thomas brother in law his name and stuck howden in, because it was on his mind cud that be posibility |

Bit of a coincidence, there could be a mis-understanding when registering the death and Thomas Roberts got an extra name? |

You hadn't given the sisters names, & I haven't tried to find the family on earlier census as you already have them, so I assume this is her sister? |
