Hornsby family in Durham area

[katehornsby]

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.

Hello Katehornsby. I have posted   Hornsby Monumental inscriptions for Evie at lanchester (post number 130) and Satley (post number 46).
They may by be outside your area but they may be worth reading.
There are also inscriptions for Hornsby at Frosterley and Stanhope.

Hi everyone,

I am looking for relations of Mary Robson Hornsby - my great great grandmother.

She was born in Earsdon Northumberland and her parents were Robert Hornsby and Mary Ann Brotherick.

She had 10 siblings and was a bit of a dark horse and got a reputation in our family.

I have been researching for years and would be happy to share any information I can for those who need it - but if she appears in your trees I would love to find out what you know about the family.

I know that her father had links with glass making in a factory around that area but thats about it.

She had 4 children - the eldest, my Great Grandma and then 4 sons -  I believe 2 of which moved to Australia.

Any information anybody can share with me would be hugely appreciated.

Thank you,

Jemilla

Hi Lynne

Until the 1853 marriage details are known - it would be unwise to try to link to other families of the same surname

Hi Kate
I was wondering how your research was progressing into the Hornsbys of Shotton. My 3x great-grandmother, Mary Ann, was born in Shotton to Thomas Hornsby and Margaret Craggs in 1803. Following her siblings and their descendants I have found a long line of blacksmiths living in the area and some who have emigrated as well. When was your father born?
