The title Baron Houghton was created in the Peerage of the United Kingdom in 1863 for the noted Victorian literary person Richard Monckton Milnes. His son, Robert, was created Earl of Crewe upon the death of his maternal grandfather, the second Baron Crewe. He was later created Marquess of Crewe in 1911. Subsidiary titles were Earl of Madeley (1911), Earl of Crewe (1895), and Baron Houghton (1863), all in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. All titles became extinct upon Robert's death in 1945.
"Madeley parish extends from four miles W of Newcastle-under-Lyme, to the junction of Cheshire and Shropshire, and comprises a fertile but hilly district of 6010 acres, divided into the townships of Madeley and Onniley, the former containing 1300, and the latter 192 inhabitants.
A surname index of the 1851 census for Madeley Parish is included in the Newcastle under Lyme surname index to the 1851 census published by the Birmingham and Midland SGH.
The vicarage is in the patronage of Lord Crewe, and incumbency of the Rev JW Daltry, MA.
