The links work MarieCeleste, but really small! I can't see a way to enlarge them.

It's clearer if you look at the original on Ancestry.

28 Gordon Street is where my grandparents lived so its definitely him on the New York Passenger (crew) list. He must also have been the stowaway in 1912! The other stowaway's address was close so they must have been mates. Edward married my grandmother the following year - I do hope he wasn't running away from her!!

Just to throw another thing into the mix - apparently my grandfather was sometimes called Bert. I have no idea why but have wondered if one of his names was Albert or Robert although neither is on his marriage or death certificate. However 2 of his sons were named Albert and Bert (yes really). I have tried using these names when looking for his birth but with no success.

Would someone with an Ancestry sub check out the Edward Horsey b1893 in Liverpool in 1901?

The "FL" on Florety is definitely an "H" as there's a Hughes written the same way. I do think the name may be Hornby.

It's def. Florety - they appear 1911 also.

Those parents' marriage.....

Marriages Mar 1885
Florety Edward .. Liverpool 8b 255
Perris Edith .. Liverpool 8b 255

You're right Jan - and their Edward is with them as a motor car driver

A 1911 that has Bert permutations:

HORNBY Head Married F 43 1868 Dock Labourer Lancs Liverpool
HORNBY, Margaret Daughter Single F 16 1895 Lancs Liverpool
HORNBY, Albert William Son Single M 22 1889 Dock Labourer Lancs Liverpool
HORNBY, Bertie Alexander Son Single M 19 1892 Dock Labourer Lancs Liverpool
HORNBY, Henry Son Single M 15 1896 Pawnbrokers Assistant Lancs Liverpool

RG number: RG14 Piece: 22526

Registration District: West Derby
Sub District: South Everton
Enumeration District: 13

Address: 22 Sheridan St Liverpool County: Lancashire

The head is actually Alice, I guess she'd be a dock labourer's wife? (EDIT: original does say she's a worker)

Married 26 years, 12 children born - 6 still alive.

Interesting as Edward's son Bert was actually Bert Alexander. MC - if this is my grandfather on 1911 where did Edward come from I wonder? So much food for thought here.

The only Hornby born in West Derby reg district in 3rd qr 1892 is this one:

Births Sep 1892 (>99%)
Hornby Henry Herbert W. Derby 8b 254

Is this the family from MarieCeleste's 1911 (Alice age out)
1891 England Census

Not yet found a 1901 possible.

But IF this is the same person as in the birth record above, then it's not our man:
