George James Houchen
- Horningtoft
I am trying to trace information about my Great Grandfather George James Houchen born in Horningtoft in around 1872. His parents were (George) James Houchen a Shepherd born in Attleborough and Elizabeth (maiden name unknown). In the 1881 census they lived at number 73 the common in Brisley when my Great Grandad was about 8yrs old. In the 1891 census however James had a new wife, Jane, and they were living at 18 Turnpike Rd. By 1901 George James Houchen (my Great Grandfather)aged about 28yrs had moved to St.Helens, Lanchashire where I live today. In St Helens he worked as an Electric Tram Driver and married Emily Jane Pye (a teacher) in 1903. I am interested in what happened to James' first wife Elizabeth, why George moved to St.Helens and if any of his ancestors still live in Norfolk? Any informtion would be greatly appreciated.
