Another name for Benjamin was Benjamin Beckett HOWELL.
General Notes:
The assumption was that there were two Benjamin Beckett Howell's - father and son.
This was because
a) Christening of Sarah Ann Howell gives father's name as Benjamin Beckett Howell Jr, suggesting that there was a Snr as well
b) Two burials at St Marys, Southampton in 1830s, one aged 40 the other 71
Confirmed from baptism of Benjamin Beckett junior
