PM from Terence

From Terence Yes Christine. you have the right person, but we have hit a brick wall at his mother Caroline

Do you have his birth cert? Who was his father?

Can you please reply on here rather than by pm.

Click the purple reply box at the top.

Well records show his mother was Emma, not Caroline, so it will be interesting to see if he has the birth cert.

1891 is a right muddle-up by Ancestry. Only William J, Emma, Caroline and Edward J are Hornbrooks. The rest belong to the next household of William H Hugh.

Emma looks like his mum, unless of course in 1911 he's a grandson and he's Caroline's illegitimate son.

It looks like she never married, unless by coincidence this is another Caroline born the same year.
Deaths Jun 1928
Hornbrook Caroline 41 Bodmin 5c 80

- but as this is the only birth, I'd say it is the same woman.
Births Sep 1886
HORNBROOK Caroline Bodmin 5c 81

- and I can't find any Hornbrooks marrying a Caroline in the time frame.


1911: HORNBROOK CAROLINE F 1887 24 Bodmin Cornwall
working in this household:
HEXT GEORGE M 1855 56 Bodmin Cornwall
HEXT ARTHUR CHARLES M 1895 16 Bodmin Cornwall
MALE HENRIETTA F 1880 31 Bodmin Cornwall
CLEAVE MARK M 1891 20 Bodmin Cornwall

Even if Caroline is his mother, William John & Emma are his grandparents so they are his ancestors.

Terence Report 18 Dec 2009 23:31

Hi christine. thanks for the info. we had sorted it roughly but not 100% sure as there are so many ways the name was spelt. As far as we were aware Harry was Carolines illegitimate son and that she never married. We think his father was a Robert Broad. It is so complicated because in the past a Bragg married a Hornbrook and Harry married Mildred Bragg, his first cousin. If you can unravel anymore, iwould be very grateful. Thanks again. Terry.
