Thank everyone for the invaluable info you have given me on my Father-in-law Harry Hornbrook.It will take me quite a while to go through it all. It makes searches so difficult when there is such a variation in the spelling.Is it maybe they could'nt spell in those days.If you can find anymore info I will be forever grateful. Terry.

Terence Report 18 Dec 2009 23:31

Hi christine. thanks for the info. we had sorted it roughly but not 100% sure as there are so many ways the name was spelt. As far as we were aware Harry was Carolines illegitimate son and that she never married. We think his father was a Robert Broad. It is so complicated because in the past a Bragg married a Hornbrook and Harry married Mildred Bragg, his first cousin. If you can unravel anymore, iwould be very grateful. Thanks again. Terry.

Even if Caroline is his mother, William John & Emma are his grandparents so they are his ancestors.

1891 is a right muddle-up by Ancestry. Only William J, Emma, Caroline and Edward J are Hornbrooks. The rest belong to the next household of William H Hugh.

Emma looks like his mum, unless of course in 1911 he's a grandson and he's Caroline's illegitimate son.

It looks like she never married, unless by coincidence this is another Caroline born the same year.
Deaths Jun 1928
Hornbrook Caroline 41 Bodmin 5c 80

- but as this is the only birth, I'd say it is the same woman.
Births Sep 1886
HORNBROOK Caroline Bodmin 5c 81

- and I can't find any Hornbrooks marrying a Caroline in the time frame.
