Did Francis go by his middle name of John?

Yes, I am looking for relatives and any other information regarding the Horwood family of High Wycombe. Frances John Horwood was my grandfather. He went by his middle name, John. But he often went by his nickname 'Jack'. He moved to Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada . He was born 1881 and lived to just a month short of 105 years old. Thanks for any input.

Amazing age to live to -bet he had some stories to relate
I can't help you with living relatives -but will help you get further back if you wish???
For a start, Do you have the family on 1891/1901 census??

So far I have found that Jack's father was Charles Horwood b. 1844 and his mother was Sarah (?) b. 1843. Charles Horwood was born in Braunton,Devon, England. He was a chairmaker. I am new at this and am not quite sure how far back I can go on the internet. I did get most of my information from the 1891 census.

here we are
we can trace parents back through census
you can view 1881 census free at www.familysearch.org
this is the ref for Charles and sarah
RG11 1468 21 4
1871
Downley W Wycombe Bucks
Charles Horwood head M 26 Chairmaker Aston Clinton Bank bucks
Sarah wife 28 lace maker Prestwood Bucks
Eva Emeline daughter 7mths Downley W Wycombe Bucks
RG10 1407 118 23
The only thing that is puzzling me - is you have Charles p.o.b. as Braunton Devon -yet hee seems to consistantly have his p.o.b. as Aston Clinton bucks
Where did you get his p.o.b. from???
I'll just hold back until you reply

Suz, Thanks so much for this information. I did get some information from ancestory.com some time ago. Who knows if it is the same Charles Horwood. I also have the Registration District as Barnstaple. But I also found Aston Clinton Buckinghamshire written next to it. As I am typing this, I realize that you have found the accurate information. awsome! Now, I may have found the parents of Charles Horwood: Ann (?) b. 1820 milliner and George Horwood b. 1817 mariner. It starts to get sketchy from here. I will try the site that you suggested. Thanks!!!

I'm not too sure about this Charles parents being george and Ann Unless of courseyou know for certain otherwise
I'll start with the 1901 census with francis John with his parents- and then you can see how I have traced it back

Birth reg freeBMD
Francis John Horwood
Dec qtr 1881
Wycombe
3a 595
Wycombe is the district the birth was registered in and covers quite an area of Buckinghmshire- so francis John was not necessarilyborn in the town of Wycombe itself
you said that francis John used his middle name - there are no Francis Johns to be found on 1891/1901 census - but there is a John Horwood with parents Charles and Sarah - so I am assuming this is francis John and Family.
The best thing to do would be to order (if you can) the birth cert of francis John -which will give his parents names -and mother's maiden name. Sertificates cost £7 inc postage and can be ordered online from the GRO

1861
Princes Risborough Bucks
Simeon Hickman head m 21 Sawyer Lacey green Bucks
Sarah wife 21 lace maker Aston Clinton
Arthur james son 1 lacey green Bucks
CHARLES HORWOOD brother in law U 18 groom aston Clinton Bucks
RG9 862 41 4
so it looks like Charles was living with his married sister (and he had a different occupation)
You can look on freebmd.org.uk t see if there is a marriage of Simeon Hickman and Sarah Horwood - I will look for you if you don't have any luck - but it is good to try and get used to sites yourself, it's so exciting when you find one of your ancestors yourself.
