Find Ancestors

I have a John Henry Hornby born 1898 Hebburn Leeds he was married to Annie Jowett in 1920.
trying to find how many children he had 1921 would only have his daughter Mary on . I've got he was an engineer with outgoing and incoming passenger lists his Home address is listed as 21 Neville Place Leeds and this was his address on his Probate wit wife Annie still alive
Nothing is coming up for 1939 register that I can see

I've got he had 5 children 1 died as a baby
any help would be appreciated Thank you

Probate…when?

Is his wife on the 1939?

What were the names and birth years of the children?

Probate 14 Sept 1953
Not found his wife on 1939 but only just started looking for her
children Mary Annie 1921-1973
Florence 1922-1922
Joseph 1925
Ronald 1926
Gladys 1927

You refer to passenger lists………so was he abroad? I assume you’ve cross-referenced all sailing dates………………..

His wife and one daughter are at the address you give in 1939

Can’t see birth for Joseph..please post your record of the event

Incidentally, Hebburn is in County Durham…..NOT Leeds

The family were living there in 1921….he was a Ship’s Rivetter

Hebburn isn’t in Leeds !

Have you tried looking for them on freebmd?

Added four are on freebmd. Two registered in South Shieldsand two registered in Leeds

In Scunthorpe in 1939 under John h Hornby

DoB 30 March 1898

Sorry about Hebburn yes it is Durham
Not sure I've got the right family ??

ErikaH I havent seen the 1921 census

I'm trying to verify the info I've got as I've just been contacted by a relative of John Henry Hornby who is closer than I am to him but he is only just starting
The probate I have for him is at 21 Neville Place same address as the passenger lists but he is an engineer? 1938 and 1941 But ErikaH has him as a ships rivetter

I've got his birth and Parents right

Yes I've seen that Erika but didn't think it was him and couldn't make out why it was crossed out, writing over it says to look at another page but didn't understand it as I couldn't make it out properly

Why is ships rivetter to engineer too big a leap?

Added re the crossing out - he could have been recorded at a different address. Could he have a,ready signed up for the navy - if so he wouldn’t be registered at home.

ships rivetter 1939 engineer 1938 and 1941 could have changed his job and changed it back again

If you look at the 1939 results, you will see that there are TWO. Look at BOTH

ALSO - when he went to Canada in 1940, he was NOT an engineer - he was Foreman Erector!!!

He was never in the Navy as far as can be seen

Get birth cert for exact DoB

As Canada was mentioned, it seems only fair to include some others
