Hi Walter, If you come across any more wandering Hounams I'm always happy to help them with whatever information I have. Once I finish researching my mothers family tree I may even get round to that Hounam family website I've been talking about for years!

John Hounam (1651) was a "Merchant of Langholm" - he was described as such in the Register of Testaments (index of wills) 1710. Unfortunately, the will itself has been lost.

I haven't looked at my Hounam family tree for quite a while, but I probably have quite a lot of information that will be useful to you - I'll look out what I have.  look forward to your PM.

Noticed your message while surfing and joined Rootschat to reply! I am a Hounam and I've done quite a bit of family history researching over the last few years. I am a descendant of John Hounam b. 1651 via Adam Hounam (b. Langholm 1745) and Abraham Hounam (b.1858 Alston, Cumberland). I do not have definite proof, but I believe John Hounam(b.1651) may have come from the Melrose area - there were several Hounams there in the middle of the 17th century (when the parish records began). A John Hounam was born at Bridgend, Melrose on 5 Nov 1648.
