Find Ancestors

Searching for anyone with information on Anne Rimmer, I believe from the Lancashire area born roughly 1880-1900. Went on to marry Henry Houghton.

Kind Regards for any info

Hello Ryan, welcome to the boards.

If you're wanting to find if anyone else is researching Anne then use the Search function above to check other members trees.

It's quite a small minority of members who actually use the boards, although those that do are very good at helping new members with their research.

Might it have been John Henry Houghton that she married?

I've done a bit of digging - as Ryan is a new member it's easy to see what's been added to trees in the last few days with the surnames Rimmer and Houghton.

It seems the marriage I posted is correct. It's not impossible that his grandfather is still alive so I won't post those details.

There is a tree on Ancestry which has the whole shebang - marriage certificate too.

If Ryan's not also a member of ancestry then I'd suggest he joins the free spin-off Mundia and views the tree for himself, that way he can also contact the tree owner as they must be related.

Wow............What a fabulous tree on Ancestry!

Thanks everyone so far.

My Grandfather who has passed was Gerald Houghton, born 2/6/1926. To Anne Rimmer and John Henry.

I believe my grandfather had quite a few siblings, but the names of which I and my immediate family are not aware of, one of the results I'm hoping to get.

EDIT:Just re-read the above post, @Cyril that name rings a bell and so does the mention of one of them dying early on.

Ryan, please follow that link for Mundia that I posted above. It's a subsidiary site of Ancestry but it's completely free to join.

The tree I refer to will be accessible on there - it has a photo of Annie Rimmer.
