Regarding Gladys Mabel Staveley's grandmother....you could ask on the Records or Tips board for a look up and then you'll find her parents and family. That will take you back another generation.

So:
Going on the fact that Elizabeth HOUGHTON is aged 71 in the 1911 Census, we can take a guess that she was born about 1840. The 1911 census tell us she was born in Weymouth Dorset, so you have some facts already.
Ask on Tips or Records Board for a look up of, say, the 1851 & 1861 Census for Elizabeth Houghton, born about 1840 , Weymouth Dorset.
That should give you her family, so you'll see who her brothers and sisters were and get her parents names.

The 1911 Census actually had a middle name for Elizabeth Houghton but it was badly written and difficult to read, it was something like Bennet or Bonnet or Rennet.
Now, there's a clue, because it isn't a 'normal' christian name, so is quite likely her mother's maiden name...anyway, it's worth bearing in mind for when you get a bit further back.

Also on History and makes no more sense on that board than it does on this one!

yer elizabath houghton is something to do with gladys staveley am after gladys grandmum and grandad now

It's on Chat & Records too

I think Emma was advised to put it on trying to find and Tips. It looks as though, instead of putting her original question which was to find the ages of her Grandparents or gt grandparents (can't remember) she has posted the answer she received on one of the other boards. Whoever advised her thought she might be very new to the boards. I think the question was on Gen.

edit my mistake it is on Chat. and numerous other boards.

Hi
Has anyone found the family in 1871?
I don't seem to be able to locate them
Von

I can't find them either Von

on 1881 Lilly Houghton... this is likely to be her birth ( not 100%) might be worth getting the cert, it is possible that Elizabeth may have been 2nd wife?

Can't find jessie or Fred on 1871

Rose
I've found possible births for Frederic and Jessie in West Derby but inclined to agree with you that Elizabeth is possibly a second wife.
Von
Edit Ignore that as Fred's place of birth in 1881 is given as Devon. I can't see the image as only the top of the page appears on FMP.

Baptism..??

Name: Fred Agustus Houghton
Gender: Male
Birth Date: abt 1867
Christening Date: 21 Apr 1867
Christening Place: Melcombe Regis, Dorset, England
Father's Name: George Houghton
Mother's Name: Elizabeth Bonnett

I cannot find a Houghton/Bonnett marriage or Elizabeth Bonnett on the earlier census...even a birth reg for Fred Agustus.

There is a birth in the Dec quarter of 1866 for a Frederic Houghton in Preston.
Could he have been born in Lancashire but baptised in Elizabeth's home church in Dorset in the following April?
Von

That would be very likely Linda as the name Bonnet is mentioned as a possible in first post,

There is a birth for a George Henry in Mar quarter of 1876 in Pancras registration district for Kentish Town.
This is place of birth given on the 1901 census.
Von

Nudging so that Emma can see !
