We must be related as Charles Augustus Howell was my great-great grandfather, married to Kitty Howell. I would love to know more about Beatrice. Charles and Kitty had one daughter who was my great-grandmother. I was going to make a trip to Kew Records Office to try and find out about Beatrice. <br />I didn't know this about her, so thank you for sharing.

A most interesting read. And saw your blog about C.A. Howell sometime ago. As it happens, Rosa Corder was my great-grandmother (and Howell my great-grandfather); in fact Rosa Corder's death was caused by peritonitis - according to her death certificate which I have. By the way, Beatrice Ellen Howell was born on 26th April 1885: How do I know this ? There is no Birth Certificate - I've checked - Howell arranged the surgeon to attend Rosa during her confinement, and the venue. I have the surgeon's affidavit ... and more. Beatrice was looked after by a Howell acquaintance until 1889, then she was taken to Newmarket by Rosa. After Rosa died in 1893, Beatrice was brought up by Rosa's sister Charlotte Elizabeth Corder, who had been a minor actress. Possibly Charlotte introduced Rosa to Ellen Terry ...<br /><br />DenisDenis Malsherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17701394438444024344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1441164155286448763.post-79500365285937405232018-02-22T06:30:30.922+00:002018-02-22T06:30:30.922+00:00Hi, Ellen Terry wrote that in a telegram to W Grah...Hi, Ellen Terry wrote that in a telegram to W Graham Robertson. It's quoted in Devon Cox's splendid book about Tite Street. As for the names of the buyers, I'm afraid I haven't come across those but can only suggest V&A Art Library and newspapers of the times which often give me random, useful details about people.

I came across your site in my efforts to research the sale you mentioned at Christie's on 13-15 Nov 1890. I was hoping you might be able to help me with a couple of things. 1. Would you mind giving me the source for the Ellen Terry quote. And 2. Some of the key buyers at the sale, according to Christie's priced catalogue, were Holmes, Laurie, Corbett and Usher. I presume they were dealers. I have not been able to find mention of these people in the main biographies of Howell, and I wondered if you had come across them in your research. My only success is with Richard Holmes, librarian at Windsor, acting for the crown, who was the main buyer. I'd be grateful for any suggestions.Richard Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06846902780716488007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1441164155286448763.post-28381901795184043042018-02-21T22:03:12.518+00:002018-02-21T22:03:12.518+00:00Hi Kirsty,
