I too am looking for Houstons from Co. Down, Ireland. James Houston farmer and his wife Susanna Mour/Muir married in Belfast abt. 1799 and soon after emigrated to Glasgow, moved to Linwood, Renfrewshire and finally emigrating to Plympton Twp., Ontario in 1833. Their daughter Susannah b. 1805, Co. Down married William Hastie in Renfrewshire, Scotland and he also was born in Ireland. They too emigrated to Ontario in 1840 with their family and a few Houston family members.
Anything sound familiar?
At some point in this chat someone mentioned visiting the Linen Hall Library in Belfast for more family information. I would be looking for information prior to 1800 which might be difficult??? Many thanks.
