yes no problem post some details

What I like about Ancestry is being able to make contact with others searching same families. Through this I have made contact with family in other parts of the uk plus, Canada, America and New Zealand. Also to share info both ways with others sharing distant links. Sometimes when I have got stuck I will leave the search for a while and in due course other data is added to the site.

Alan, You can get Ancestry free at all Wigan libraries, but of course this may change when they open again fully, ? Your grandfather was born John Pryce Hough ,29 Sept 1874 Mostyn Whitford Hollywell Flintshire,the son of John Hough and Jane nee Bithell, he married Mary Elizabeth Williams in Prescott Lancs in 1895, she died 1903 in Flintshire, his second wife Sarah died 1924 114 Manchester Rd Ince and is buried in Lower Ince Cemetery Grave No. B433 Ground C of E, John Pryce Hough lived at 4 Keble St. Ince in 1939 ,he died here in May 1955, and is buried in Westwood Cemetery Grave No.D118 Ground Diss.

Ancestry regularly does a free weekend on some bank holidays, i use it then, get registered to take advantage of this, if you like it you can pay for it, i think its ok but i am too tight to pay, maybe they will do a freebie on august bank holiday.

For me paying for it is worth it as I often take on searches for friends, so I have the freedom with timing

thanks to you all that is fantastic what you have found out i will go to wigan libraries when they open again to find out more thanks again alan

I suspect that Sarah's father Thomas Langton was the youngest of the 7 brothers of my 2x great grandmother Eleanor Langton.Unfortunately I can only find his marriage to an Ann Ascroft not Ellen

What good will it do looking back, its the future you all should be looking forward to.
That is as long as you dont think that youv had any rich relatives.

mygriffiths thanks for that bit of information not look into sarah`s side of family yet have got that to do and my great grandads john hough still to do and all their children thinking of joining ancestry not made my mind up yet

We use Family Search. We find it just as good as Ancestry and it is FREE.
