Henry was born 20 Sept 1836 to Charles James Horsey and his wife Anne Simmonds.

Henry was always a butcher.

He married first Jane Edwards, born abt. 1835, on 27 Sept.1862. There was one child - Field Charles Horsey born 1864, died 1866. Jane Horsey died 1867.

Henry is shown as a widower on the 1871 & 1881 Census.
On the 1891 Census he is married to Adelaide who was born Brighton, Sussex abt.1846. Henry is a retired butcher aged 54

On the 1911 Census Henry is a retired butcher, Adelaide 'Addie' is shown as being married 41 years - there are no children.

I have been unable to find the marriage for Henry Field Horsey to Adelaide (believe Pollard but cannot remember why).

Henry's will left his effects to a nephew Frederick Wilde.

Thanks in advance

spouse Henry Feild Horsey.

It's quite likely that they never did marry. The 41 years married for Addie may be from when she first married someone else.

This might be the Adelaide Pollard you are thinking of?

I presume the F. Wilde is his nephew to whome he left all his money.

Did Adelaide die before or after Henry please?

Presumably the Frederick Wilde who inherited Henry's estate was the son of his sister Anne and Francis Stephen Wilde?


Deaths Dec 1925 Horsey Henry F 89 Barnet 3a 482

I have not found her death.

London, England, Electoral Registers, 1847-1965

Name: Henry Horsey
Electoral Year: 1919
Parliamentary Division: Finchley
County or Borough: Barnet


Henry and 'Addie' are living at Norfolk Lodge, Nether Street, Finchley.

After 1919 he is on his own, which suggests Addie died some time in 1919/1920.

I have looked for an Adelaide or 'Addie' dying in that time frame in that area, with no luck.

Are there any other names mentioned in the Will, that might give a clue?...

Chris :)
