Hi
I don't usually comment on threads but as someone who added to the thread I felt I wanted to comment.
I agree with Karen that sometimes it's difficult for beginners.
I have to say that I think the advice given to Emma was somewhat confusing which is why I continued to look for her.

If you read through all the threads in actual fact the amount of duplicated information is very little as we chose different people to research.

Lets hope Emma comes back and has not been put off by the adverse comments otherwise we will have wasted our time.

Karen, it's not just that there were multiple threads...beginners do that we know...

but one of those threads was added today ...after ALL the info was posted by searchers , me included, yesterday .....Emma WAS aware of how to get back to her threads I think as she posted thanks on one of them , there is a limit to people's patience and it's not just Janey that has hit her limit, see other threads for the number of people 'wasting ' their time on this.

Karen, how nice of you to reply -- to me and me alone, standing apart from *all* the people who have expressed their displeasure in *all* of Emma's threads!

When I was a beginner, I spent a long time reading the boards and familiarizing myself with them before I posted anything .... as I have done at all the many internet boards I have used since about 1995 ....

Hi Emma,
Quite a few people have added information, so I would suggest what you do now is go through all your message posts, and gather together all the information you've been given, and tie it into your tree. I think you've got a fair bit to work with.
Then you will start to see the wood from the trees, so to speak, and it will be easier for you to determine what remains to be found, or what you would like to find.

To find your previous posts go to 'my threads' which is in the blue box on the left of this page.

Janey, I think we have to remember, and make allowances for, new members who are unsure of this site and don't quite know what to do, let alone being new to family history.
We were all beginners once, were we not?

Anybody think enough time has been spent by enough people on this yet?

The complete set, as far as I know:

Nudging so that Emma can see !

There is a birth for a George Henry in Mar quarter of 1876 in Pancras registration district for Kentish Town.
This is place of birth given on the 1901 census.
Von

That would be very likely Linda as the name Bonnet is mentioned as a possible in first post,

There is a birth in the Dec quarter of 1866 for a Frederic Houghton in Preston.
Could he have been born in Lancashire but baptised in Elizabeth's home church in Dorset in the following April?
Von

Baptism..??

Name: Fred Agustus Houghton
Gender: Male
Birth Date: abt 1867
Christening Date: 21 Apr 1867
Christening Place: Melcombe Regis, Dorset, England
Father's Name: George Houghton
Mother's Name: Elizabeth Bonnett

I cannot find a Houghton/Bonnett marriage or Elizabeth Bonnett on the earlier census...even a birth reg for Fred Agustus.

Rose
I've found possible births for Frederic and Jessie in West Derby but inclined to agree with you that Elizabeth is possibly a second wife.
Von
Edit Ignore that as Fred's place of birth in 1881 is given as Devon. I can't see the image as only the top of the page appears on FMP.

on 1881 Lilly Houghton... this is likely to be her birth ( not 100%) might be worth getting the cert, it is possible that Elizabeth may have been 2nd wife?

Can't find jessie or Fred on 1871

I can't find them either Von

Hi
Has anyone found the family in 1871?
I don't seem to be able to locate them
