Hooray! I've found a baptism for a Richard Houghton 2 Nov 1845 at St James, Accrington, parents Richard and Ann, abode Shoe Mill, father's occupation Carter. My Betty's residence on her marriage cert was Shoe Mill, so it must be the same family. Richard senior seems to have quite a few occupations after 1841. Now to add loads of people to my tree! (Well, OH's tree).
