Children of Alexander Houston and Sarah Smith

[Stephen B]

I'm trying to get the birth years for their children.

Alexander Houston was born about 1888, his father John Houston harbour pilot Troon, mother Annie Wilson.

He married Sarah Smith on the 29th December 1911 in Troon, Ayrshire.
They had the following children

William Houston born 2 December 1915 in Glasgow,
Ernest Houston born ? (know as ernie)
Albert Houston born ?
John Houston born ?

I know they are all recent birth's so even the year would be of help.

www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk would be the best place to check online or you could see if they are listed on GenesReunited

[Stephen B]

Thanks, have been on scotlandspeople, but as they are recent births I can't download information, also on ancestry, and Genes Reunited.

It's the more recent generations I'm have more problems with :-) unfortunately my wife does not know as much about her immediate family as I know of my side.

There is a member on GR who has an Ernest Houston born Glasgow 1915

[Stephen B]

Sorry about this, but I'm not getting that hit at all, got 29No Ernest Houstons not the 1915. In fact only 1No in Scotland, strange.

So was he born 1915?

[Stephen B]

I only know William Houston date for sure, GR doesn't allow me to enter name unless dob provide this is my estimate as I know all his brothers were born around the same time +/- 8 years.
