Hi Just joined this group, and haven't seen any activity so will throw my information out.. I'm interested in finding any information on the William Houghton family. My gg grandfather, William was born/chr about Dec 1796 at St Mary's, Oldham, Lancashire, England. I'm not sure of his death date. He married Hannah Jackson about 1826/27 in Oldham and they had 8 children. One being my g grandmother Selina Houghton, who married Enoch Littleford and came to the USA about 1890. William's parents are William Houghton and Mary, who were married about 1788 someplace in Lancashire, England. William was chr 4 Nov 1768 in Chowbent, Lancashire, England and Mary was born abt 1770, and was buried 29 Mar 1801 at St Mary's, Oldham, Lancashire, England. Williams' parents were John Houghton and Margaret Peak. Would love to hear from anyone with this family. April Harrison
