Trying to find Houghton

Hi,

I am trying to find any ancestors of my Grandfather (William Henry Houghton) and his sisters Martha and Nellie Houghton, all born around 1900 in Manchester/Lancashire.
I do not have much information to go on as my grandfather was
in an orphanage at an early age, we believe the Styal Cottage Home in Manchester and did not leave until he was 15 and joined the Army, not sure why. Do these names ring a bell to anyone?

Thanks
Brian Houghton
