Myra Report 21 May 2009 11:11

Trying to find, any information on the parents of Richard Wynne Houchin, who married Bertha O Fowkes, in Berkhampstead 1911,they had daughters, Brabara M W, Berkhampstead & Olive P W, Joan or Jean H W, Margaret B W and Christina Ada W between the years of 1912/1917 they were registered under the district of Camberwell. All I can seem to find is a census which his Ricards mother Mary as a widow, she was possibly a Fisher, but don't know Richards fathers info.
Are ther any relatives out there? I know the Christina became estranged fro the family in the early thirties, so we don't know any of the family history other than her father may have run a cycle shop, in or around Cmaberwell.

If you get the marriage cert of Richard and Bertha it should tell you both fathers names.
The marriage GRO ref should be on FreeBMD

There are several trees on Ancestry which state that Richard Wynne Houchin was born in 1821 and died in 1890, and there is an Australia connection.

That 14 day free trial would be worth considering, which would let you contact the tree owners to find out more.

There is a Richard Houchin 1787 and wife Ann 1793 on the 1841 census with a son William 4 1837 they are in Stratford but not born in the county. Only Richard appears on the transcription but on the actual census is Ann wife and son William. They are living at angel Place, Angel Lane, Stratford which is E 15 so may come under Essex also West Ham.
