Find Ancestors

I'm trying to trace the houghton side of my family. William Herbert or Herbert William married Elizabeth Pettigrew aroung 1926 but I can't trace him any further back. Can anyone help?

You can't trace him without first obtaining the marriage cert.

It will give you his correct name......his age......and his father's details (if known)

Marriage record:-
Marriages Jun 1928 (15%)
Houghton William H Pettigrew Sculcoates 9d 400

Yorkshire Marriage indexes for the years: 1928
Surname Forename(s) Surname Forename(s) Church / Register Office Registers At Reference
HOUGHTON William H PETTIGREW Elizabeth St Paul Hull JA/15/463

If you buy the certificate it will give you his and her fathers names and their professions. This will make it easier to find in earlier records.

Type: Births Surname: houghton First name(s): william herbert
Start date: Mar 1895 End date: Dec 1915 District: all
County: all

Only two found:-

Births Jun 1904 (>99%)
Houghton William Herbert Leicester 7a 278

Births Mar 1910 (>99%)
HOUGHTON William Herbert Meriden 6d 429
The district Meriden spans the boundaries of the counties of Warwickshire and West Midlands

One of these could be his birth record depending on how old he was when he married.
The marriage certificate will confirm if either of these are correct as age of bride and groom is also shown.

Same thing for Elizabeth only three records found although one is 1900 which seems a bit early but you never know:-

Births Mar 1900 (>99%)
Pettigrew Elizabeth Pattison K Gateshead 10a 1042

Births Dec 1903 (>99%)
PETTIGREW Elizabeth W. Derby 8b 236

Births Mar 1908 (>99%)
Pettigrew Elizabeth Burnley 8e 241

Keep on file till you have marriage certificate.
