Yes I am still online. Beatrice Kathleen Howitt was my Grand Aunt. She was the daughter of Thomas Howitt and Susan Catherine Holliday, my great grandparents. Harry Joseph Howitt (my grandfather) was brother to Beatrice Kathleen Howitt. If I have it right that would make you my 2nd cousin. So Hi Cousin. So to get this right I have Sidney and Beatrice as having three children, all, I am told kept the Howitt name in their names somewhere. So I have Basil Howitt Estcourt born 1 Jul 1895 in Cape Colony South Africa and he married Grace Parkinson on 26 Jul 1921. I have nothing on Grace. I have nothing on their children. Would this be your grandfather? in which case I have not got the correct info on him. Sidney & Beatrice also had Gerald Dawson Howitt Esctourt born 20th April 1902 in Newport Pagnell District, Buckinghamshire, England and Kathleen Beatrice Estcourt born 15 Jan 1904 in the Newport Pagnell District also. she died on 4 Sep 1968 she married Vicomte Jules Francois Rene Barrois De Sarigne on 27 July 1927 in Staines District Middlesex. I would love to hear the correct info on your side of the family perhaps you could email me on

Best wishes
