  • Robert Howard. (Sir).
  • William Howard. (Sir).
  • John Howard.
  • Emily Howard.
  • Gertrude Howard.
  • Because James Howard, 3rd Earl of Suffolk, the eldest son of Lord Theophilus Howard, was born around 1619 or 1620, both of the marriages of Lord Theophilus Howard could be one that happened at the same time of the so-called second marriage, although the mothership of Lady Elizabeth to Sir William Howard, John Howard and their sisters, Emily and Geretrude Howard, is doubtful but not excludable.
