Your great grandmother Ada Mary Houghton - her birth was registered in the Sept.quarter 1863 Chorlton and she was actually named as Mary Ada Houghton - GRO Index on their site shows mothers maiden name was Baker.

At least you can now apply for her birth certificate to confirm her birthdate.

Thank you very much. I will have to get someone else in my family to order the birth certificate as I live in Mexico.

Thank you BUT the post to Mexico is one of the worst in the world so I“ll get my family in England to do it for me and thank you for telling me about the cost too.

Dear Annette

Thank you for this information

Your great grandmother Ada Mary Houghton - her birth was registered in the Sept.quarter 1863 Chorlton and she was actually named as Mary Ada Houghton - GRO Index on their site shows mothers maiden name was Baker.

Is there any information on the GRO about who the father was?

Also some records have Ada“s birth place as Manchester but Chorlton according to Google Map is a long way from Manchester.

The GRO index/freebmd is purely childs name and reference number to enable you to order a copy of the birth cert.  Any fathers name will only be on the birth cert
