My late mum-in-law recalled having some cousins by the name of Hartshorn who farmed in Hungarton, just a mile or two from Thurmaston - it's quite possible they may be linked to your family in some way. There is a Hartshorn Close in Thurmaston, too, which I suspect may be named after a branch of that family.

Sadly she died a few years ago, but I do remember every time we drove out near the farm (somewhere near the Black Boy pub at Hungarton) she'd tell me about her cousin who went to live there but whom she hadn't seen for years. When we first moved to Thurmaston we lived opposite Hartshorn Close and she remarked then that it might have been named for, quote, "my cousin's family, because they were quite prominent". I will ask my husband, because I think he has memory of visiting the farm as a small boy, but it's likely to be a very feint one.

It's not a side of my husband's family that we've researched much of at the moment, but mother in law's family were linked to the Salsburys/Salisburys and Loves of Oakham, and the Pridmores of Leicester, just in case you come across those names in the meantime.

I have just spoken to my husband. He thinks his(female) relative was a Hartshorn who married into the family that owned the farm. The last he knew the farm was still in the same family. He can't remember his relative's first name, though.

I have located the actual farm for you. It's Village Farm, on Baggrave Road, opposite Coal Baulk. The OS reference is SJ 685 075. OH says he can remember one of the houses being built for one of the farm staff in the 1950s/60s - as you'll see if you look on Google earth, the houses are relatively new.

Thurmaston does have a heritage group - http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~tmi45/ - whose members may be able to tell you more about the family. I notice their 'Families' page has four Hartshorns listed.

I'd be interested to know your findings.

As an afterthought, are you aware that there is a Woolman family who were very prominent Leicester Quakers, back in the day? John Woolman is very well documented, I believe.

Wow   - thanks for that link.  It shows Herbert Hartshorn a wonderful man, although he was not related by blood, he was my Step Grandfather and a really really lovely man.  Bless him.
