The Houghton Clan Last Updated 29th November 2019 ©2018, 2019 Ray Warburton PREFACE The Houghton Clan is descended from John Warburton of Houghton Green near Warrington. The most likely baptism for John was at Newchurch Kenyon. There are DNA matches that place the clan in the Cheshire Group which is descended from the Norman Knight Odard de Dutton. The tree is an aggregation of trees from different sources, plus my own research. The trees include input from three descendants of the clan, Brian and Don Warburton of British Colombia, and Peter Warburton from the UK, and the previously separate Widnes Clan incorporating the descendants of William Warburton of Widnes as defined by Karen Stretton, Martin Coble and Rebecca Stone.

Robert Warburton. Robert is only known from John’s baptism. One other son of Robert (presumed the same) was baptised at Newchurch in 1739, but nothing else is known of him. Children: 2 i. John Warburton (1734-1823) ii. Richard Warburton. Richard was born on 19 Apr 1739. He was christened in Newchurch Parish Church, Lancashire, on 6 May 1739. 2 Second Generation 2. John Warburton (Robert1). John was born on 18 May 1734. He was christened in Newchurch Parish Church, Lancashire, on 2 Jun 1734. John died in Winwick, Lancashire, in 1823. He was buried in Winwick, St Oswald, Lancashire, on 5 Jan 1823. This tree is based in input from Don Warburton, and Brian Warburton of British Colombia, and Peter Warburton of Southampton who has placed his tree on Genes Reunited. All three are desendants of this clan. I have added further information from censuses, registrations, and parish registers, though there is more that could be added. John of Winwick, late of Houghton was buried aged 88 making him of the correct age and place to be the head of this family. The birth and baptism at Newchurch Parish Church also fit with this burial, and the location is close to Houghton, the church originally being a chapel-at-ease for the parish of Winwick. On 27 May 1760 John married Elizabeth Leather in Warrington, St Elphins, Lancashire. John was from Winwick, Elizabeth of St Elphins parish. The date fits neatly with the birth of John’s first child. They had the following children: i. Jane Warburton. Jane was born in Houghton, Lancashire, on 30 Mar 1761. She was christened in Winwick, St Oswald, Lancashire, on 17 Apr 1761. 3 ii. George Warburton (1763-1857) iii. Edward Warburton. Edward was born in Houghton, Lancashire, on 13 Dec 1764. He was christened in Winwick, St Oswald, Lancashire, on 2 Jan 1765. Edward died in Houghton, Lancashire, in 1770. He was buried in Winwick, St Oswald, Lancashire, on 3 Jan 1770. 4 iv. John Warburton (1766-1852) v. Mathew Warburton. Mathew was born in Houghton, Lancashire, on 13 Dec 1768. He was christened in Winwick, St Oswald, Lancashire, on 8 Jan 1769. Mathew died in Houghton, Lancashire, in 1770. He was buried in Winwick, St Oswald, Lancashire, on 25 Jan 1770. vi. Elizabeth Warburton. Elizabeth was born in Houghton, Lancashire, on 19 Dec 1770. She was christened in Winwick, St Oswald, Lancashire, on 2 Jan 1771. vii. Mary Warburton. Mary was born in Houghton, Lancashire, on 20 Jan 1773.

On his burial Thomas is the son of John, abode Fearnhead, age 1. All other references to John give his abode as Houghton, However the two places are close to each other and the age is right so it is assumed that this is the burial of the son of 3 John of Houghton. 5 ix. William Warburton (1779-) x. Ellen Warburton. Ellen was born in Houghton, Lancashire, abt 1785. Ellen died in Fearnhead, Lancashire, in 1788. She was buried in Winwick, St Oswald, Lancashire, on 17 Mar 1788. Ellen is only known from her burial aged 3. Her father is described as John of Fearnhead, which is close to Houghton, and matches the description on brother Thomas’s burial. 4 Third Generation 3. George Warburton (John2, Robert1).
