Darren,

I beleive my wife, Linda Reid is related to Betty Kay - Betty married Henry Houghton. Linda was born in Tottington - are you from that area as well? my tree is on ancestry as well as on genes connected. I find lancashire research really difficult mainly becasue I am so far away ( Essex) but also becasue there are fewer name variations in lancashire . how long have you been doing this?

Happy to swap all and any info

Nick Child
