On this day in Winteringham history ...
Charles Howden, of the Royal Dublin Fusiliers. Died 24th April 1917, and commemorated on the Arras Memorial. Charles Howden was born in Winteringham to Wilson and Christianna Howden, on 25th November 1897, making him 19 years old when he was killed. His father, Wilson, was a Wheelwright, and is also described as a farmer in the directories of 1905 and 1909. In the 1901 Census, the family lived in Silver Street, and at that time there were the following people in the family: Charles’ mother and father - Wilson (37) and Christianna (36), and his brother’s and sisters - Elizabeth (12), John (10), Margaret (7), Rose (5) ... then Charles himself (3), and Fanny (1). Other Howdens lived in the village too at that time, but whether they were related to Charles family is currently unknown.
