Douglas family of Horton
« on: Friday 06 August 10 11:12 BST (UK) »
Hi
Can anyone help me with information on the Douglas(s) family of Horton.  They appear in all the censuses.  William is the head with wife Rachel (nee Atkins?) and various children.  I am particularly interested in their eldest daughter Rachel (b1826)  She seems to have married Richard Weekly in 1848 however in 1851 she is living with her family and is recorded as unmarried.  In later censuses she is still living with her family recorded as married and has three children but Richard is never with her.  Richard and Rachel definitely had one son together conceived out wedlock and brought up by Richard's parents.

I would be grateful for any help with this family as unfortunately I live a long way from Horton.

Thank you
