Greybeard Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 There are Howsleys (Housleys) mentioned in the Sheffield Town Trust records. A Robert senior and Robert junior were both Town Collector in the 1600s. A Charles and a Thomas are also referenced. I can look them up and post details if anyone is interested.
