I am back again with a query about Richard Howlette,who was a Rector at Bedworth All Saints church around 1773. I think he might have been a curate prior to that posting, at Bulkington St James. If anyone has anything to add on this man I would really appreciate it. I just need to fill in the gaps as I have not got him on a tree, though he is more than likely part of a family I have been researching for a long time now for someone.
Many thanks to all who respond.
We welcome any query on Who When Where. If you have previously posted it on another forum (including the old WDYTYA forum), please state this in your opening post - this will save people redoing the research which has been done before: they can look at it and possibly go further with it.

Re: Howlette
Not seeing anything specific for a Richard Howlette as Rector or Vicar.
There was a Reverend John Howlette (1732-1820). His burial record gives his residence as Foleshill. Burial place: Bedworth.
This might be Rev John? https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov. ... 207880a9b5

Re: Howlette
VALLMO9's post seems to correspond to your man though the death date would seem to be at odds. If you look on the Clergy of the Church of England database at https://theclergydatabase.org.uk/jsp/search/index.jsp it gives details of John HOWLETT 1755-1825 (career dates I believe) that fit the bill. There is no Richard HOWLETT/E that fits the time frame. Search under HOWLETT. Though there are no HOWLETTES listed, when you open up the details of John at Bedworth, his name is given as HOWLETTE throughout.
