Charles Beaumont Howard

Howard moved to the diocese of Chester where he was ordained priest, and was curate at Boroughbridge, Yorkshire, and afterwards incumbent of Hambleton.

He was then appointed colonial chaplain in South Australia, sailed with Governor Hindmarsh on HMS Buffalo in July 1836, and arrived at Adelaide on 28 December.

For nearly a year he was the only clergyman in South Australia and his only religious controversy was with Bishop Broughton who claimed jurisdiction in the province.

[1] In July 1843, Howard became ill and was also worried by a demand for the payment of the debt on the church, for which he had made himself jointly responsible.

[1] Two of Howard's daughters were married at Trinity Church by the Bishop of Adelaide assisted by Farrell (stepfather of the brides) on 22 December 1857.
