well I know I looked when you had your other thread ad failed to find anything - just had another look - are you sure about Warwickshire? There are stacks of Silas Houghton's around but none in Warwickshire that I can see

And no, don't give up - there are some pretty clever people on here and I am sure someone will come up with something for you - trust me!!!

Researching:

Sounds to me like Sarah was an unmarried mother when Lizzie was born. Do you have the marriage certificate for Sarah and Tom?

I recently discovered that my great x3 grandma Lizzie's dad was called Silas Edward Houghton. I asked on here earlier this week for help looking and was given some advice, but I still have not found him. Should I give up and accept that maybe my great grandma made him up?? Lizzie was born 'Lizzie Houghton' in 1871 in Warwickshire. Her mother is Sarah Ellen Houghton-which makes me think that she was married to Silas-but I cannot find a marriage. Silas was not on Lizzie's birth certificate-there was no info in the father box. I do know that Sarah married a Tom Pearce in 1872, though now I am not sure if I have the right Sarah Ellen. Tom Pearce does however show as a witness at Lizzie's wedding which makes me think that I DO have the right Sarah Ellen!! I'm so confused! I cannot find either a suitable birth or death for Silas. Things just don't add up.
If anyone has any ideas please feel free to reply!!.I really am getting desperate now!!
