Researchhave been doing genealogical research on an ancestor named Emily Cole (born abt 1832) (with parents of Phineas Cole and Eliza Stowell), who lived in Fond du Lac county, Wisconsin. As you are aware I'm sure, one of the problems in researching women is that sometimes they disappear when they get married.

I found Emily L. Cole married a Charles C. Houghton in Fond du Lac county,Wisconsin,on 10 May 1858. This information is onfamilysearch.org, in the Wisconsin Marriages 1836-1930 database.

I also found in the 1860 US census a family of Charles C. Houghton (born abt 1819) and Emily Houghton (born abt 1830) living in Illinois. They had four children in 1860 (Charles S. (age 14), Mary C (age 12), William H (age 7) and Edward (age 1)). I have not been able to prove that this is the same Charles and Emily that were married in Fond du Lac. (This could possibly be the same family if Emily was a second marriage for Charles, such as due to a death of his first wife.)

In trying to research more on Charles C. and Emily and their children I have searched the previous census records (1850, 1840), and later census records (1870, 1880, 1900) for Charles C., Emily, Charles, Mary, William H. and Edward. So far, I have not been able to trace anyone in this family -- not the parents, nor the children. They seemed to have appeared out of nowhere for the 1860 census and then disappeared after 1860. Very frustrating. 

I found the same census data on the Houghton Family project database. Charles C. is #62522 and Emily is #71745, with the children numbered up to #71749. I could not find any other data on them in the Houghton Family Project. 

I was wondering if you have any more information about this family -- especially any links to other Houghton family members or any other data from other sources or time periods.

I appreciate any suggestions or information that you might have regarding this family. Thank you for your kindness.
