William Henry Horton Liverpool

[chris_41]

Hi I am trying to find out the names of William Henry Horton's parents and where they lived.

So far I know they all lived in Toxteth park.  My Grandfather, Alfred Thomas Horton (1890-1964); His father Alfred John Horton 1866-1923; His father, William Henry Horton b.1831 and married either Jane Martin or Eleanor Killey but not sure if this is correct.  I have hit a brick wall and can't go back any further so any help would be appreciated thank you.

There's a baptism at Holy Trinity, Toxteth Park on 17 October 1866: Alfred John Horton son of William Henry Horton, a printer, and Louisa.

William Henry Horton, Printer married Maria Louisa Killey at St. James, Walton on the Hill  on 7th January, 1855.  His father was William Horton a Waterman and hers was Henry Killey a Shoemaker.

Just adding to Mo's post re the marriage:

Both of full age, residence Back Parliament Street, witnesses Mary Horton and Nancey Snelson.

Only a possible baptism because William snrs occupation was Labourer 
William Henry Horton 17 June 1832 St Peter's Liverpool.
Parents William and Jane Horton.
Residence Caxton Building.

Father William Horton the Waterman married Eleanor Killey on 20th August,  1848 at St Simons, Liverpool:

William Horton, Full Age, Widower, Waterman, Caxton Buildings, Father William Horton Labourer
Eleanor Killey, Full Age, Spinster, Caxton Buildings, father Henry Killey Shoemaker
William signed Eleanor made her mark
Witnesses: Joseph Horton and Jane ?

So Eleanor Killey was definitely not William Henry Hortons mother - she was his step mother.  It looks likely that father and son married Killey sisters.

Hi thank you so much for your replies. 
Just so I understand....
William Horton Senior married Jane Martin in 1829 who had their son William Henry Horton in 1832 then remarried in 1848 to Eleanor Killey?
William Henry Horton married Maria Killey in 1885?

1855
