Find Ancestors

That must be an uncle in 1901. Strangely, there's an unsourced (and therefore unreliable) tree on ancestry that has Oliver John Henry's parents as John Offer 1869 - 1902 and Sarah Hannington 1842-

However, they also have Sarah marrying Henry Houlton in 1862 .....

Could this be his father, Henry Houlton?

I would appreciate any help in finding Oliver John Henry Houlton. He is a bit of a mystery to me. He shows up on one of my ancestors census returns.

The 1891 census has him living with George Cox and Elizabeth Offer (cohabiters) and is listed as Grandson. Listed as Oliver Houlton.

The 1901 census has him living with them again, still listed as Grandson. Listed as Oliver Offer.

He was baptised in Etchilhampton 8 Sep 1889 listed as of Enford, Wokingham, Berkshire. Father listed as Carpenter & Joiner. Parents are Sarah and Henry Houlton.

George and Elizabeth did have a daughter called Sarah Elizabeth but she married a John James Harris in 1886 and had numerous children with him.

I cannot locate Oliver on the 1911 census nor find a death record or marriage record for him so any help finding these would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
