And his baptism is also on there, at Blofield - Baptisms, Burials - 1783-1812 - image 16, Howes, William, son of Charles & Elizabeth his wife, (late Roy spr) born Feb 11 1810 and baptised Apr 1 1810. I think that's what it says but it's not very easy to make out.

Then there is a baptism listed for an Eliza Matilda Howes, 11 Feb 1821 at Norwich, parents Charles Howes and Elizabeth Ray.

... and thanks to FreeREG, we know the parish for Eliza Matilda's baptism - Norwich St Clement - so back to the images on FamilySearch and it's baptisms 1813-1830, image 19 born 25 Dec 1820, abode St Clements, father's occupation Glover. The mother's maiden name definitely says Ray, and it could well be Ray on William's baptism; as I said, that one was quite hard to read.

Ooh, and then there's a Susanna Howes baptised 4 Aug 1811 at Blofield, parents Charles Howes and Elizabeth Ray.
