Philip Henry Howard of Corby Castle (1801-1883) was only the second Catholic elected MP since the Roman Catholic Relief Act was passed by Parliament in 1829. He has a bio in HOP, here:
http://www.historyofparliamentonline.org/volume/1820-1832/member/howard-philip-1801-1883
His wife was Eliza Minto Canning, born 1 February 1810 in Ceringay, Calcutta, Bengal, the daughter of an officer with the Honourable East India Company, a younger son of the Cannings, a gentry family seated at Foxcote House, Ilmington, Warwickshire. They were steadfastly Catholic since the Tudor era, as their intermarriages with leading Catholic peerage families demonstrate. Eliza was appointed by her childless paternal uncle Francis Canning, his heir, but only if she had a son. She married Philip Henry Howard on 16 November 1843, at the relatively late age of 33. Her first three children were girls, and it took 10 years for the necessary son and heir to arrive, in 1853, when Eliza was age 43. Foxcote House could now legally be kept by the Howards of Corby Castle, through her. It became the preferred residence. She died at Corby Castle, Cumberland on 11 February, and was buried 16 February 1865 in Holy Trinity Church, Wetheral, Cumberland.

His wife was Eliza Minto Canning, born 1 February 1810 in Ceringay, Calcutta, Bengal, the daughter of an officer with the Honourable East India Company, a younger son of the Cannings, a gentry family seated at Foxcote House, Ilmington, Warwickshire. They were steadfastly Catholic since the Tudor era, as their intermarriages with leading Catholic peerage families demonstrate. Eliza was appointed by her childless paternal uncle Francis Canning, his heir, but only if she had a son. She married Philip Henry Howard on 16 November 1843, at the relatively late age of 33. Her first three children were girls, and it took 10 years for the necessary son and heir to arrive, in 1853, when Eliza was age 43. Foxcote House could now legally be kept by the Howards of Corby Castle, through her. It became the preferred residence. She died at Corby Castle, Cumberland on 11 February, and was buried 16 February 1865 in Holy Trinity Church, Wetheral, Cumberland.

I believe there's an additional Edward III descent here - via the family of Giffard of Chillington.
Starting with A9, Mary Sheldon m. Walter Fowler of St Thomas Priory:
1. Frances Fowler m. Peter Giffard of Chillington
2. John Giffard of Black Ladies m. Catherine Hawkins
3. John Giffard of Black Ladies (d. 1709) m. Catherine Taylor
4. Peter Giffard of Black Ladies, 20th of Chillington (d. 1746) m. (3) Helen Roberts
5. Catherine Giffard m. Francis Canning of Foxcote
With this additional descent, by my count Eliza Minto Canning has 39 Edward III descents - not 32 as stated by Brad. It's likely that some of the single descents listed by Brad actually reflect multiple descents from Edward III.

Many thanks for this, John. I had your Generation 1 (Frances Fowler & Peter Giffard) and Generation 3 (John Giffard & Catherine Taylor) in my database, but was missing the linking Generation 2. I've now added the line.

There do not seem to be any Edward I descents behind Richard Hawkins of Selling, Kent (1581-1642) & Mary Langworth, the parents of Catherine Hawkins in Generation 2 above. Ditto for John Taylor of Fockbury, Worcestershire & Katherine Barnsley, the parents of Catherine Taylor in Generation 3 above.
I can only find the father of Ellen/Helen (It's 'Ellen' in her father's will) Roberts in Generation 4 above. He was Robert Roberts of Plas Ucha, in Nerquis, Flintshire, whose will was proved 15 August 1717. He makes no mention of a wife and makes his executors the guardians of his two daughters until they come of age, so his wife must have predeceased him.
