My 2nd great grandmother was Emma Dixon (nee Hufton, nee Smith), born Lowestoft (Suffolk) circa 1826 original surname Smith. She originally married into the Hufton family having several children George (b. Stanton Lacy), John (b. Penge, Kent), Hatie (b. Newtown), Lucy and Charles (b. Broughton, Manchester).

She was widowed and remarried into the Dixon family. Emma Hufton and Nicholas Dixon were married in 1868 at Eccles Registry Office. They were both living in Lower Broughton at the time. My mum seems to remember that the Hufton family had a shop in lower broughton area in the late 40's early 50's.

Any of this mean anything to anyone?

Thanks

Richard
