  • Name Henry Howe Connor 
    Born 6 Oct 1821  Canterbury, Kent, England Find all individuals with events at this location 
    • Even the birthplace of Henry Howe Connor himself is in doubt; the dates found on his gravestone, his death certificate, the papers of his pension application and the census records being at wide variance. These dates range from as early as 1819 to as late as 1825. A search for his birth record at Somerset House, London was reported as not feasible because of the lack of an exact year or place for search for Henry Connor's birth record...birthplace is given in his death certificate as Canterbury which is in Kent, England. - Ancestral Lines of Chester Everts Howell
    • Additional notes re Howell book information: The compiler noted in the book, that dates obtained from documents seemed to contain errors. In example, the death certificate of Henry Howe Connor (with his son, Thomas Wesley Connor as informant) is cited giving his death as 12 Oct. 1906 and birth as 15 March 1820, and offers an age calculation of 89 yrs, 6 mo, 21 days. However, those two dates actually calculate to 86 years, 6 months, 23 days...at best leaving one in doubt.
      From today, 17 Nov 2021, Henry's dates will reflect those given on his gravestone.
