The James Houghton who married Alice Barrow in 1766 was a watch toolmaker.

I have found a possible release on ancestry.
Many thanks

All St Peter's

William born 13 Nov, baptised 20 Nov 1768 Father a Potter

Matthew born 28 January, bap 4 Feb 1770 Father a Potter

There is also a Hannah Houghton born 26 June 1785, baptised 24 July 1785 at St Peters, parents James and Alice of Lord Street. James is shown as a Labourer though

Thanks

Possible as daughter named Alice and same church as Baptisms. If correct and it was 1766 there may be earlier baptisms

‘Found’..where please? Which website……..so we don’t waste time with duplicated searches

As you don’t mention the mother’s name, one assumes you don’t have any info about it, so how would you know if any marriage of the ‘father’ was correct?

Ormskirk/Liverpool

Father James Houghton

Children

Alice 1774 found
James 1776 found
John 1778 found direct ancestor married Sarah Castlehouse

My question... I am struggling to find a marriage for James the father

Many thanks
