Looking for Hornsby (Cumberland/Northumberland/Durham)

[trish1120]

1841 Census
Blenheim Street
Westgate, Northumberland
John Hornsby, 40, Cl ( short for Clerk)
Susan Hornsby, 27
Elizabeth Brown, 16, Servant

1851 Census at same address we have;
15 Blenheim St, Westgate
John Hornsby, 54, Clerk to Iron Founder, born Northd, Benton (Longbenton)
Sarah Hornsby, 37, Wife, born Northd, Newton on the Moore
Adolph Ewphotey, 21

So this is the John born Lonbenton and the other 1841/1851 Census's I posted are for the John Hornsby who married Sarah Walton.

I think this is more likely the Death Reg of John who married Sarah Walton;


HORNSBY, JOHN, age 43******
GRO Reference: 1847  D Quarter in GATESHEAD UNION  Volume 24  Page 109

Their last child Margaret from 1851 Census was born Heworth, Durham. And widowed Sarah and are there in 1851 Census.
Gateshead is the reg district for Heworth.

Hi,
I'm related to John's son Joseph (b.1840 Newcastle, married Martha Francis McDowell in 1860 Athlone, Ireland) he's my 2nd great grandfather.

Many thanks for pointing these things out.

I am glad I could help.

So at least you know that John Hornsby 1797 (Clerk) is not your Ancestor.
