Find Ancestors

Good Morning folks

As my top line says ... I am seeking information with regards to Fanny/Frances Newton c1797, Barton, Lancs who married William Houghton 1828 St, Peter and St, Paul. Ormskirk. I have no idea of parents or siblings. Many thanks

Have you found Fanny on any census? I cannot find one with a POB of Barton.

Is this the couple in 1841?

Where did you get Barton from. Banns for the marriage give her parishfirst as Melling and then as Ormskirk. Possibly moved from Melling to Ormskirk before the marriage:

I went on lancs opc and i thought i had found the correct record

She died in 1863 - found the death using ancestry

How have you got back to her as the Fanny Houghton married to William, a wheelwright was on the census for 1881 so couldn't have died in 1863.

my grandmother Dorothy Houghton 1916
my great grandfather William Arthur Houghton 1891
my great great grandfather William Henry Houghton 1866
my great great great grandfather Thomas Houghton 1843
my great great great great grandfather William 1808

Looks like Frances died in 1891 (just after the census), not 1863:-

Deaths Jun 1891 (>99%)
HOUGHTON Frances 92 Ormskirk 8b 728

Aged 92 ........ Good age

Still no idea of parents identities tho .....

Didn't you notice Catherine's 1881 info about where she was said to have been born?

And why did you suggest she died in 1863?

Please get rid of all the white space in your 1851 census posting...........where did that info come from?
