John Huston abt 1802 - 1876 Clunes,  Victoria, Australia
Does John's death certificate list his place of birth? What about occupations? What religion would they have been?- (several Hustons were Presbyterian ministers).
There were lots of Hustons around Garvagh (see Griffith's entries that Christopher posted for Desertoghill and Tamlaght O'Crilly Parishes). Also Hustons in Bellury townland, Desertoghill Parish with a marriage in 1851 between Robert Huston of Bellury to (formerly Farmhill, Tamlaght O'Crilly) to Eleanor Huston of Drumsara. And lots of Hustons in Gorticloghan, Tamneymore and other places around Garvagh.

Without more details you might not e able to get more information in Ireland (and even then the dates are before the start of civil registration so church records might not exist for the period you need). Have you John Houston's death certificate to see if there's any more clues there as I asked you in December 2007?

Welcome to Rootschat, houston03. The original poster hasn't been online for almost a year and didn't respond to questions on this thread so I'm not sure if th Houston isn't that uncommon a name in Ulster and this Houston family was in north County Londonderry so not likely to be connected to Caledon ones.
