William Peter Howell was known in cricket circles as ‘Old Bill’ to distinguish him from his son William Hunter Howell ‘Young Bill’ who also played for Cumberland and NSW – by coincidence the son was also a right-hand off-spinner and hard-hitting left-handed batsman. ‘Old Bill’ was born at Penrith on the 29th of December 1869 and died at Castlereagh on the 14th of July 1940.
