I am trying to trace the roots of two of my ancestors - known details as below:-
- William GREENOUGH, born c1793 in Little Woolton, Lancashire. In the 1851 census, he was head of houshold aged 58 and lived at 50 TARBUCK ROAD. Occupation was a stone mason and was born in Little Woolton. He also lived with his wife Ellen (aged 36), step-daughter Jane HOUGHTON (aged 18) - house servant, step-son Joseph HOUGHTON aged 16 (stone mason), William (son) aged 12, John (son) aged 10, James (son) aged 8 and Henry (son) aged 6.
- Ellen GLOVER, born c1815 in Wavertree, Lancashire. I know she married a Thomas HOUGTON c1831 before going to marry William GREENOUGH. Only other information I have for her is as above.
Anybody offer any further or advice on tracing further info on these persons?

So I've also now found a possible marriage for the above two persons, although it would appear the "eloped" to Manchester to get married - have a look here... (http://www.lancashirebmd.org.uk/cgi/pma.cgi?date=1838&county=lancashire&reference=MR:STJ/1/463&file=G&pos=54634&area=MR&surname=GREENHOUGH&forename=William)
I can't for the life of me find a GRO reference though when I search the BMD...........

The reason I was struggling to locate this was that according to the GRO, the name GREENOUGH contains a 'H' in the middle of it.
Thanks all for your help :)
