Hey thanks. but don't go out of your way as I need to learn more about my Thomas Howle as he could be anywhere (well until July 28th). CWSS gives me 65 Thomas Howells, 6 Thomas Howles, and 144 T Howells and some under other varations including 3 under the one you gave of T. Hewell. I'll have to print them off then start eliminating them and hope mine turns up (or find something through the family genealogy end of it all to find out where he might have been in 1860)
