Now this is odd coz it says born 1908 but I didnt see a age on 1911 census

Rambling Rose thinks the two people above Cyril and Norah are also your grannys sisters and brothers

There is a tree on ancestry which has the family with some additions,


Archibald Sidney Gordon Horwood
Birth 1907 1st Qr in Torquay, Devon, England

plus one living, listed as 'private'.

There are two more possible children after 1911

HORWOOD Norah E Spriggs Lambeth 1d 859

We THINK this is WINIFRED ALICE marriage

So her name would be Winifred MOSS hubby John

Now we look for children whos mothers maiden name was HORWOOD and now dads name MOSS

Winifred Alice Horwood 7
Edith Hilda Horwood 6
William Ewart Horwood


These are your grannys sisters and brothers

so peeps here are looking for their marriages and their children

Thats what I thought ...

what people are doing are going backwards for you but with the wrong person ....

so they have EDITH MAUD age 31 and they have her parents now Samuel Gorden Spriggs her dad

her hubbySidney david dad is called DAVID HORWOOD

There doesn't appear to have been any children to that marriage though.

Claire there is no obvious marriage for William Ewart Horwood, though he may not have used his full name

this looks likely for Winifred
