Marriage

May 1, 2009

My maternal grandmother was Audrey Houghton, daughter of Harvey Houghton, who came from the line of Ralph Houghton. My Mother, Helen Bircham Clark passed away this February. She told me that the extended family moved from Lewiston (Montmorency county) to Lansing (Ingham County) Michigan for better work when she was a small child (Mother was born in 1914). That included Rua and her family, Audrey her husband Clyde Bircham and my mother Helen, her brother Thomas and Genieve, who was called Jean. Jean married George R. Ellsworth. She died at age 50 (according to a newspaper obituary).She and George had a son names Gary M.Ellsworth. (Accordng to an obituary) Rua taught school in the Lewiston areas and married a Clyde J. Klotz to whom she was married for nearly 42 years. She and Klotz lived in Lansing for 38 years. They had a daughter named Dorothy who married John Ames and had one child, John Jr.. Given the information about Rua's marriage duration, the family move to Lansing was probably around 1924.The extended family move also included Harvey Houghton and his wife Genieve Stansboro and Genieve's Mother. At least some of the men in the family had been involved in the lumber industry in the areas near and in Montmorency county. My grandmother had told my Mother that Douglas Houghton was a relative, but looking at your family lines, it must have been a link over 6 generations back. It looks as if there was a pattern of naming children after grandparents, so my guess is that a common ancestor in England would be a John Houghton.What evidence do you have that Ralph and John Houghton do NOT have a common ancestor? Given their location in the same area in MA, it seems plausible that they could have been cousins. Any suggestion on how to pursue the English links? Any indication of where in England they came from?
Thanks for the incredible work that you are doing onthe Houghton line.¹

My daughter Kathy told me about your ancestry project but I was away and I am only now back home. My name is Larry (Lawrence) Kenneth Houghton Parkes. My father Fred, developed by personal gathering of information, our family tree. Not too complete but this was long before computers, word processing, spreadsheets, the internet, search engines to say nothing of ancestry programs. He passed away at the age of 58 in 1961. I have attached a copy of our family tree and also a copy of my grandmother Jessie’s (Jessamine) birth certificate. She was born to Walter and Louisa (Houghton) Freeman in Brighton, England, in 1872.

It was important to my parents that the male children in our family carried the Houghton name as one of our middle names which you can readily see from the chart. We were never really told why but in deference to my father we all did. The mythology was that sometime in the past the families were joined (Houghton-Parkes) and that someday in the future when our fortunes improved the names would once again be joined.

My grandmother Jessie lived with us upstairs in our home on Mathers Avenue in West Vancouver and she was very important to me as she taught me how to read and write and basic arithmetic before I went to school at the age of five. She was very independent and did not suffer fools gladly! She passed away in our home in 1948. I have attached a picture of her and also of her and Alfred my grandfather.

I have questions which I probably will never know the answers to. Alfred died in Seattle where my father was born, but he was quite young. What was his cause of death? [As was a common trade in those days he was a house painter...so lead poisoning?] The result was that after he passed away Jessie with her two children, Fred and Doris, moved to Vancouver, B.C. where her mother Annie, my great grandmother, was. Second question; when and why did Annie immigrate to Vancouver without my great grandfather Sam? I will probably never know. That’s when we wish our parents were still available to us to answer such questions. Of course we don’t think of such questions when we are young.

That is one of main reasons why my project is an autobiography, utilizing multi-media, and trying to write it for my granddaughters children’s children – in other words for future generations in our family to try and answer the questions that we are unable answer – and as we get older, we all have them! To tell them our stories. I call the memoir “My Memories”. I realize the fallibility of memory, but they are faithfully my memories and are my essential truth.

I have not yet been on your website but I will. Good for you. A wonderful altruistic endeavour!
