Member Since: January 2007 Posts: 605 Send Message	Thankyou again. Yes I did notice about Joseph. I would say the mother was probably Ellen. Adam and Elizabeth had an Ellen who i think probably died as she didn't appear on the 1851 census. Elizabeth then had an Ellen again when she was married to John Swift

Member Since: January 2007 Posts: 605 Send Message	Am now thinking Elizabeth married William had Peter Later married William's brother Adam and had Margaret Is it possible to find out if William or Adam was Ellen's Dad Do you think this is correct?

	You would have to buy Ellen's birth certificate to see who was named as father ......

	Alviegal .............. I've just spotted this, it CAN'T be right! Posted 17 Jan 2018 20:58 f this is Peter's marriage he has his father as Adam. Adam in 1841 is described as an engineer. Marriage: 12 May 1844 St Luke (formerly St Wilfrid), Farnworth (Widnes), Lancashire, England Peter Houghton - (X), full age, Engineer, Bachelor, Whiston Elizabeth Baldwin - of full age, Spinster, Whiston Groom's Father: Adam Houghton, Labourer Bride's Father: Zachariah Baldwin, Office clerk Witness: Elizabeth Houghton, (X); Hugh Lucas Married by Banns by: JD Latiward, curate Register: Marriages 1837 - 1845, Page 210, Entry 419 Source: LDS Film 1655236 But Peter was born 1837ish and William died 1839 so possibly he felt he was closer to Adam? - - - - - Peter cannot marry in 1844 if he was born around 1837! ------------------------- from lancs opc Baptism: 10 Mar 1837 St Mary the Virgin, Prescot, Lancashire, England Peter Houghton - Son of William Houghton & Elizabeth Abode: Whiston Occupation: Collier Baptised by: C.

Member Since: July 2005 Posts: 12,339 Send Message	OOPs Sylvia you are so right! I wonder if this Peter may be Adam's brother, both sons of Adam. In any case, just ignore this Elizabeth as it is getting further away from your original question. I will edit my posting. Thanks again Sylvia :-D

Member Since: January 2007 Posts: 605 Send Message	I have finally managed to sit down and have a look at this again. Is there a way to see a baptism/ birth for William and Adam to see if they were brothers..ie had the same parents? Thank you
