  • If anyone knows about this William, and his parents by records, I would be so thankful.  Where they lived in County Antrim, and all other

    information on them are things I am interested in discovering.  I don't know how possible it is, being so long ago, but I am hopeful there

    are people with the same interests with this family, and perhaps, have gotten further in their journey of discovery,. I would appreciate

    hearing from you.

  • Hi Karen

    I'm also looking for a William Houston however 100 years later.

    Born 1801 or 02 died in 1847 Broughshane, County Antrim. He married Margaret Moorhead.

    Have you got any Moorheads in your Houston family??

    Regards

  • Natalie, I am only familiar with my Houston line in America, starting with William who came here in 1700s.

    I am trying to document his parents in Northern Ireland.  There isn't any proof, that I have founbd.  It is said he was born in County Antrim, Northern Ireland

    around 1710/1715?.  I wonder if his family came there from Scotland.  I read how that took place.  My McAllisters were from Kintyre Peninsula, Scotland,

    and I knoiw some from there would travel to Northern Ireland.  It was such a short distance across the water.

    Some people have his father as a William and some as John.  I would love to find this information and all else with William's family there.

    Perhaps, he has some family connections still in County Antrim that could be connected to you but I don't know anything. It was such a long time ago.

    Therefore, I wouldn't know if any Moorheads were in my family there or here.  No help, sorry.  If anything comes up that might tie us together, please let

    me know.

     

    Thanks, Karen Tate
