« on: Thursday 22 January 09 16:16 GMT (UK) »
Hi my name is Karl
My Great Grandfather A HOUGHTON fought in the Boer War 1899-1902
No, 7051 Pte Volunteer Service 1st Battallion South Lancashire Regt
I'm still researching his date and place of birth.
His Daughter Rose Hannah (Brodrick) is still alive she is my Nan.
As she is now 97 I'm unable to get clear precise information.
Alfred (I think) also had a son James J Houghton. bth Rose and James are listed as born Prescot. see Free BDM site for details.
After the War he Lived in Woolton Village (which in that era, was within PRESCOT)
James J unfortunately died many Years ago but his son Michael served in the forces for many years inc SAS
Michael was brought up by Rose
Hope that helps in some small way
I have a service picture of A Houghton which I can scan and send if you give me e mail addy
I'll try attch here 1st
