Horatio Lace b. 1857 Malew

[eborfamilyhistory]

Hi,

I'm attempting to write up a history of my house and one of the first people to live there was Horatio Lace.

Horatio was born in Malew, Isle of Man in 1857 the son of Thomas and Elizabeth Lace. I have found 8 siblings of his; Joseph, Elizabeth, Frances, Edwin, Emily, Frederik, Gemma and another Emily.

Horatio is shown on the 1871 census, aged 14, in Patrick with his family. On the 1881 he is living in York.

I'm finding out about Horatio's time in York, where he worked for the railway, but I'd like to find out a bit about how and why he came to York from the Isle of Man.

If anyone has any information regarding the family and can fill in the missing bits would they please get in touch.

Thanks
Paul
