Suz, I have been checking freebmd.org and have found original transcripts for the marriage of Simeon Hickman although I am still searching for Sarah Horwood. Good site though. Also, is there a site that explains past professions. Anyway, Happy Easter! Ill be researching tonight.

Saillavie,
Regarding your post about Charles Horwood b. 1844 if you are still persuing it. His brother was William Horwood b. 1851 who was my GGrf. My source is from the 1841 & 1851 Census and Williams BC. The family as far as I know is:
George Horwood b.1817
Ann Horwood (nee Hartnell(?) b.1821
married 1838
Mary Ann Horwood b.1839
Fanny Horwood b. 1840
Charles horwood b.1844
Sarah Ann Horwood b.1846
Emily Horwood b.1848
William Horwood b.1851
Gerge Horwood was a Mariner as supported by Williams BC, but the maiden name of his Mother (Ann) is very unclear on the BC copy I have but I am assuming Hartnell. The 1851 Census has them all living at 11 Church Street , Braunton.

Yes, I am still persuing the Horwoods. Thanks so much for this update. I am curious about the Hartnel connection. Have you had any luck with that surname?

Dales and Saillavie
Sorry for butting in on this but I wondered if you knew that these are two entirely separate families and most likely not connected in any way.
The birth of Charles HORWOOD in Aston Clinton, Bucks, was registered in Aylesbury Registration District December Qtr 1844. He was baptised at Aston Clinton on 26 December 1844. His parents were James HORWOOD and Sarah SEERS who married at Aston Clinton on 31 July 1828. (Information from FreeBMD and FamilySearch).
The birth of Charles Hartnell HORWOOD in Braunton, Devon, was registered in the Barnstaple Registration District June Qtr 1843. (Information from FreeBMD).

Orpheus,
Very much appreciate the data. I hadn't been focusing a lot on Charles Horwood but your information has two proof points for me in that the March 1851 Census has Charles as being 7 at the date of Census which matches the Barnstaple birth registration June Qtr 1843 and the Hartnell middle name is significant in terms of the hypothesis that his mothers maiden name was Hartnell. Is this a Horwood branch you have an interest in, in which case I would be happy to share what I have? I live in Melbourne Australia and rely exclusively on the Internet via Ancestry, RootsChat and my subsidies to the Home Office GRO, to glean my information, so unsolicited gems like this are extremely appreciated.
Sailavie,
Have to concur that Orpheus is correct that there are two separate Charles Horwoods in play here. Shame, I would have been delighted to have had a GGtUncle who lived to 105, would give me hope!

Hi,
There is a possible HORWOOD connection in my wife's family tree.
My wife's 5 x great grandfather was Peter George FLORIDA he married a Phillis STONE in Radnage in 1781 and one of their daughters was Elizabeth FLORIDA (bap 1790 in Radnage). On 15 Jan 1818 the Radnage records show the baptism of a Milly HORWOOD Florida to Elizabeth FLORIDA with no father given. We assume that Milly was illegitimate and since she was given HORWOOD as a middle name perhaps her father was a HORWOOD.
Elizabeth went on to marry a William BRITTEN in 1827.
What became of Milly HORWOOD Florida I do not know.
I wonder whether any of you full blown HORWOODs have come across her or might be able to suggest who her father might be,
Cheers

Do you have a George Horwood in your tree? He testified at my relative's Inquest on 27 Dec 1876...
DEATH OF LOCKJAW.
An inquest was held at the Victoria beerhouse, Bridge-street, on Wednesday last, before G. A. Charsley Esq., Deputy Coroner, and a jury of whom Mr. M. Gibson was foreman, to enquire into the circumstances attending the death of Paul Cutler, the landlord of that house. The Jury having viewed the body, the following evidence was adduced:
George Horwood, a lad, said: I work for Mr. Charles Stone, London-road. A fortnight ago last Thursday, the deceased was cutting cogs with a band saw at Mr. Stone’s sawmill. I was at work with him, my duty being to call out whether he was to hold the cog on one side or the other. The cog was veiny, the vein being at the bottom. Deceased knew it was veiny. The cog fell down on deceased’s fingers and smashed them, and the saw came off the top wheel. I had called out just previously. I could not see that the saw had got down to the vein, nor could deceased see it. It had not slipped before. It slipped immediately after I called out. –By the Jury: It was a cross-grained piece of wood, very rough. Deceased had cut cogs before out of the same piece, and therefore knew all about the vein.
Mrs. Cutler, widow of the deceased, deposed that he was 34 years of age. He kept the “Victoria” beer-house and was a blacksmith by trade. He told her how the accident happened. He said he was “sheldering” cogs for a water wheel, and that there was a piece of “rind” on the upper side, which threw the saw off the wheel, bringing the wood down on his fingers. He died not impute blame to anybody: he only said it was not a flitting job to be done with a band-saw. He would never do it again, if he had the “sack” for it.
The Coroner. – Did he set himself to do it? –Well, of course it was brought there to be done. It has been done for years.
The Foreman. –It was part of his work? –Yes.
Mr. H. F. Turner, surgeon, said -The deceased came up to our surgery on the afternoon of December 7th. I was just going out and my assistant dressed his fingers, and when I returned he told me deceased had a couple of badly crushed fingers. He came afterwards once or perhaps twice to have them looked at, and after that we heard no more of him. The fingers were far from well the last we saw them. He resumed his work a few days after the accident. Late last Friday afternoon we had a message he was very ill. My assistant saw him and found him suffering from the symptoms of tetanus. I saw him the next day and found him suffering from decided symptoms of lockjaw and of tetanus, the latter, however, being more decided afterwards. He took nourishment up to the last, but the spasms never left him. I attribute his death to spasms following tetanus and lock jaw. I saw his fingers, which were in a very bad state – one of the nails dropping off with mortification.
In reply to the Foreman, Mr. Turner said he decidedly thought the deceased ought not to have resumed work so soon. Had he been sufficiently careful his fingers would not have got into the state in which they were when he was last called in. It was useless to attempt amputation then, as the fingers were not in a fit state for it.
The Coroner said there did not appear to be any blame attaching to anybody except the deceased himself.
A Juryman asked whether the Coroner did not think some precaution ought to be taken as to the use of proper wood with these saws.
The Coroner. – The workman ought to know, I suppose. He is not obliged to use it.
Another Juryman. – He seems to have said it was not a proper instrument.
The Foreman. – He knew it was a wrong saw; and have no doubt they have got different saws on the firm.
One of the Jurymen said that the boys whose duty it was to call out might perhaps sometimes neglect to do so; but another pointed out that even if that were the case it would not cause an accident, but only spoil the piece of wood that was being cut.
The Foreman. – I do not think there is any more danger in cutting cogs than many other things that are cut with a band-saw.
The Coroner. – I don’t see how you can attribute the blame to anybody, as deceased did not himself.
The Jury then returned a verdict that death resulted from the cause named by the doctor.
