Matthew Parsons Houghton 1818-1884 My great x2 Grandfather

[mjwatts1960]

This man moved all over the place.
he was born in Birmingham Warwickshire 21 Dec 1818
baptised in St. Thomas Dudley Worcestershire 8 Jun 1832
married Ann Baker St. Pauls Bunhill Row, Finsbury, London 11 Nov 1843
had Ada (my great grandmother), Mary Jane, Mary Jane, Ellen Maria, Dudley John, Elizabeth Ruth, Ruth and Agnes in many different cities and counties of England and Wales.
and died in Pantasaph, Holywell, Flint in Wales 18 Oct 1884.
I need someone to confirm he was also in the USA in New York I believe and had more children there.
I need to know who his father and mother were and how far back the Houghton line can be traced.
Can anyone find the exact date of birth for Ada whose middle name was Mary I believe.
My grandmother always said Ada was a descendant of the Blessed John Houghton a monk and one of the forty martyrs who was executed for not signing Henry VIII Act of Supremacy but that who 300 years earlier in the 1530s. I realise as a monk she was not a direct descendant.

Hi

Can you add some details of the childrens birthyears.  You show 2 daughters called Mary Jane - did one die?

Where was Ada born and was her birth registered?  www.freebmd.org.uk  Buying a copy of her birth cert will give you her birthdate

I need someone to confirm he was also in the USA in New York I believe and had more children there.

What facts are you working from?  What is the timescale when you think he was in the USA - pre or post 1843 marriage?

I need to know who his father and mother were

You already have that information from his birth and baptism details on Family search

[CaroleW]

In 1851 - 3 of the children are "visitors" with the Rogers family which you probably already know but I am posting details so we have birthyears and birthplaces

Edith b 1844 Aston
Ellen M 1846 Rugby
Dudley J 1847 Aston

Ruth was b 1849 Dudley died March qtr 1851 so have you found the remaining family members in 1851

[CaroleW]

Matthew was the father of Matthew Parsons Houghton but the mothers name is missing.

[CaroleW]

No it isn't missing -  haven't you looked on Family search - mother is shown as Sarah

You already have that information from his birth and baptism details on Family search

OK sorry I had my wires crossed with another Matthew.

Yes Matthew Parsons Houghton parents were Matthew and Sarah Dudley.
