Research Notes
The entry in the Visitations of Lancaster list her as being the second daughter of Gilbert Houghton and also list his heir as being his second son and being aged 48 in 1664 (so born 1616). Her year of birth is an estimate based on this observation.

Is there a source for her DOB? Indications are that she could well have been born a decade earlier.
