(moved remainder of his notes to his talk page)

Robert Timothy's son Robert Joseph Houlton (1864-1936)

(copied this and his children's notes to his talk page)

1881 census said he was Dentist Apprentice. See notes on his father's page for the rest of the family in 1881. Now we have almost certainly got his birth and death records.

Robert Timothy's granddaughter Ethel Louise Houlton (1904-)

Needs some care because there was an Ethel Lucy H born 1905 in Lincoln.

First name(s) ETHEL LOUISE Last name HOULTON Birth year 1904 Birth quarter 3 Registration month - Mother's last name - District BRENTFORD County Middlesex Country England Volume 3A Page 132

Aha - Ethel Lucy Plumridge died in 1991 in Sheffield. So that's not our Ethel. We could give Ethel Lucy an article anyway.

Just to save looking up, all the Houlton marriages in quarter 3 of 1927:

• Charles W m Ms Finn, Lincoln, 7a 1475
• Emma m Mr Joy, Bury, 8c 1122
• Ethel L. m Mr Plumridge, Shardlow, 7b 1267
• Harry m Ms Kendall, Glanford B, 7a 1832
• Herbert M. m Ms Welch, Glanford B, 7a 1831
• John m Ms Garner, Prescot, 8b 1583
• Marjorie T. L. m Mr Doyle, Paddington, 1a 177
• William A. m Ms Wilkins, Dover, 2a 3063

This one's more likely geographically - but don't expect to find children from it:

(Go back two pages to see that it appears to be Waltham College.)

There's a Robert Houlton marriage in 1937 in Lancashire; another in 1943 in Cirencester. Probably not worth checking. War sickness may have put him off marriage.

Mary Isabel Houlton (1891-1970)

The only three hits for full name are birth, 1911 census as noted above, and death. Fairly convincing.

There's another Gertrude, born in Notts in 1907, so no certainty of marriage but this is the more likely (because the other was in Notts):
