Death1935Los Angeles, Los Angeles Co., CA, USA
BiographyJanet Jones: Family legend has that he was also a Canadian Mountie who helped with the capture of a notorious Chicago gangster. He then moved to LA where he served as a driver or bodyguard to film star Mary Pickford. He died circa 1935 in LA and both my Mother and her cousin remember being told she sang at the funeral. They also remember photos of an elaborate funeral.

My mother believes he had a son named Roy who was in the oil industry and a grandson who was a test pilot for Boeing.

My mother remembers hearing a tale that he helped with the capture of a bootlegging gangster in Chicago. This would be during Prohibition but I have nothing to document her claims.
James died in 1935 in LA. Selina (nee' Nygard) and their son Roy remained in LA. Selina died in 1960 (buried in Forest Hills Glendale) and Roy in 1965. Voter registration rolls indicate that a Sigrid Houghton lived with them ...possibly Roy's wife?????

Emailbetween Sep 20, 2010 and Sep 25, 2010Dr. Vella,
I am 15 years of age and have been tasked with writing an essay on my last name and its origins. I have always been interested with my ancestry and now have the chance to explore it. I am the son of John F. Houghton, the grandson of John Houghton, and again, a great grandson of another John Houghton. It is somewhat difficult to trace because of this reason but I’m trying my best. My fathers, grand and great, say they trace their lines from Irish descent. As I researched for my essay I came across your website and found it potentially helpful. I am sure you are a busy man and I have great respect for the work you do. Thank you for all the work you have put into this project.
Respectfully,

Christopher Houghton

Sep 25:

Success!! I have just confirmed relation with the Fitzsimmons! My grandfather recognized everyone of James W. Houghton's children and was very happy to hear that some lineage had been uncovered. I can not express my gratitude for your assistance.

Oct 9:

I apologize for such a long gap in our communication but I have recently been able to talk with my grandfather in person. We had a great time catching up with each other and he was very pleased with our progress in his lineage. As for the answers to the questions recently asked, he thought he was Irish because of passed down information. He believed Margaret's name was Bohannan because that was what he knew her as when he was growing up. As for James, he knows little of him but he said that both James W. and Margaret met in the same complex that is on Paschall Ave. or St. If you have any other questions I could knock em out by tomorrow around 2 P.M.

Also I failed in telling you that my grandmother, Maria Muniz, had three previous marriages before my grandfather. She had Ramon and Miguel with a man under the name of Waters.
Thank you again for your great help!
