Durham Lookup Requests / Re: Matthew Hornsby and family in 1861?

Do you have copies of the birth certs for Thomas 1859 or Jane 1862. Addresses might be the same to help with 1861. I see in 1867 Matthew's occupation was Millwright.

GRO do £3 digital images for the births available straight away.

SS

The baptisms of Isabella in 1857, Jane and Margaret in 1862 all took place in St. Alban in Heworth (Windy Nook). I'm guessing the family hasn't been recorded on the 1861 Census.

Hmmm, they are very well hidden.

The baptisms of some of the children are available on Durham Records Online, but the abode is simply given as Felling.

The address I have is 14 Holly Hill, Felling, Heworth on the 1871 Census.

Just seems odd that there is no trace of any member of the faimily in the 1861 Census.

Matthew - b. Alston, Cumberland 1830 - d. South Shield district 1877
Margaret - b. Gateshead, Northumberland 28 Mar 1831
Isabella - b. Felling, Durham 1857
Thomas - b. Felling, Durham 1859
Jane - b. Felling, Durham 1862
Margaret - b. Felling, Durham 1862
Mary Ann - b. Felling, Durham 28 Nov 1864
Joshua - b. Felling, Durham 1867

Mary-Jane to please the Irish side of the family?

Indeed......here's their marriage in 1860. Her father, John McDowell a sergeant in the Constabulary (R.I.C.?)
Mary-Jane Adelina Hornsby it is, to give her her full name. . .
Many thanks

That's the record I have, checked both the Church and Civil and no other listing, however in the Army Births and Baptims there is an Adelina Hornsby born in Cork 1874 (to the 25th Regiment) BMD_OVS_REG1_001495, but no Mary Jane listed on this.
So the name change could be for Army reasons?
Mary-Jane to please the Irish side of the family?

Family History Beginners Board / The same person with two different names ot twins?
« on: Monday 15 March 21 17:23 GMT (UK)  »
I've discovered 2 relatives who are either twins, or the same person.

Mary Jane Hornsby (born October 21st 1874, Cork) daughter to Colour Sergeant Joseph Hornsby and Martha Francis Mcdowell. I have the Irish Civil Group Registration ID is 8520585, but no death records.
Adelina Hornsby (died 10th September 1878 in Camp Muntaznuggar, Fyzabad, Andhra Pradesh, India) daughter of Sergeant Major Joseph Hornsby 1st/25 KOB on death information but no birth details.
Death information states she was 3 and 11/12 years, same birth as Mary Jane?
The parents also had an earlier daughter Mary born in Preston in 1866 who married.

Could this be a mishearing of a name when the details were taken down?

Most certainly under age, full age being 21?

I'm hoping that her fathers service record in the Irish Constabulary (25852 ?) may shed some light on her side of the family. Two of the children along with Martha were lost to cholera in India, and two died in Ireland.

There are just a couple of McDowell births in B'ham & just 1 family on the census so
that piece of information looks like a mistake.More than likely he married a local girl which was
a very common occurrence in the Army.


So Birr, may in fact be correct.
Where would be the best place to search, I understand that most of the Irish census where destroyed in a fire?
