More about this scene

This chapter ends at Great Houghton, south-east of Northampton. It is a small village with a few modern closes. The White Hart pub is little changed. Opposite is the gable of a 19th-century extension to Stone House, a fine 17th-century house. Continuing south there is a mix of older houses and 1960s dwellings, the shallow-pitched gable of No 38 visible to the right of the electricity pole.

My 6 x great-grandparents, Thomas Pell and Isabell Emery, were married at the Parish Church on 13/4/1732. Their children were born in the village, and Thomas, Isabell and some of their children were buried in Great Houghton. It would be interesting to know whether any of their family remained in the village. Their son Richard (my 5 x great-grandfather) moved to Kingsthorpe, then to Coventry. We recently visited Great Houghton, it is a lovely village.
My great grandmother was born in Great Houghton in 1868. She married Charles Neville and moved to Swanscombe in Kent. She had four children at the time of the 1901 census, the eldest of whom was nine. All I know is that her name was Lizzie! I need to do some research to find her maiden name and to see if any relatives of "Lizzie" live in the area. I now live 20 miles from Great Houghton, having been born in Dartford, Kent. She and I have crossed paths!
