Durham Lookup Requests / Re: Hornsby family in Durham area
« on: Saturday 13 March 10 18:57 GMT (UK) »
Just wanted to add that my name ....................
and these names seem to come up with all the chats here. Many thanks to you all once again. Has anyone actually started to draw up some kind of Hornsby family tree graphically?? If I went to Durham, would I be able to find out more useful information there? Is it my impression, or is there a special eccentric Hornsby streak!
I would be interested to hear form any of you Hornsby related people!!
Again, thanks for th einfo and the encouragement to go further in my research.

Durham Lookup Requests / Re: Hornsby family in Durham area

I am so pleased to get so many responses. I am now trying to get the original birth certificates of my father and mother to be able to put some firm foundation on the facts. I do have a marriage certificate of both of them when they were married in London. I had a Great Auntie Anne and a Great Auntie Isabelle (and she may be related to the Isabelle in one of the notes I got) from Houghten Le Spring I believe but I have asked my brothers to send me the documents I need. I know that my Grand father George Hornsby died in the mines in an accident, because my father wante dot go to university, and that cost money, and his mother never let him forget it, and believe that the link to the Mining History records refer to him - my Grandfather. I will also try to get more information about this from my brother, Peter. I just wish I had listened as a child to all the stories and history at that time but you know what children are like?

Durham Lookup Requests / Hornsby family in Durham area
« on: Wednesday 24 February 10 21:38 GMT (UK) »
I have just started researching into the Hornsby family and its roots in Durham. I have no experience of family tree searching and would be grateful for any help about the best way to start.
My father George Hornsby (now deceased) was born in Old Shotton, has one brother John (emigrated to Australia) , and his father was a miner (also George Hornsby) who died in a miners accident. I would like to trace the family tree back as far as possible. I have been told that our family came from Vikings who invaded the NE England and our name comes from the "son of Horn".
Any tips or guidance would be gratefully received.
