Many thanks to all those who have kindly volunteered information regarding the Horwood branch of my mother's family. I am indebted to you.

Is Emma Horwood, born in 1826 in Shottesbrook, Berkshire, the mother of Alfred Robert Lawrence, born circa 1860? (This is the man who married my great-grandmother in South Africa in about 1890.) If so, you have confirmed the identity of my great-great-grandmother and have provided invaluable information about her parents!

Many thanks!

James,

I'm sorry if I got your hopes up, but I can't help you trace the Shearers any further back. All the information I have relates to the Millers (Janet's husband was Alexander Miller) and to her mother, who was a Leatham before marrying George Shearer.

Take care,
David Miller

Dear Jill,

Emma is as far back as I can get with the Horwoods. I'm sorry that I can't be more helpful.

Sincerely,
David Miller

This might interest you: My great-great-grandmother was Emma Horwood (born 1826 in Shottesbrooke, Berkshire - that's close to Binfield). She married Robert Lawrence (born 1821), and their son Alfred Robert (1857 to 1941) immigrated to South Africa, where he married my great-grandmother, Maria Magdalena Kock (Koch?)

Janet Shearer (1844 to circa 1934), wife of Alexander Miller (1840 to 1900) and daughter of George Shearer and Barbara Shearer (Le[a]tham) is my great-grandmother! Please get back to me because I have much more information. Thank you.
