Find Ancestors

Dawn, you really really do have to do some of the work for yourself. I've tried to explain this ...

Have you made any effort to contact the Hornibrooks I found in the Irish telephone directory who matched with the info Fairthorn found? That is such an obvious possible link -- I can't believe you wouldn't follow it up as soon as seeing it. Is it not living people you are looking for, people who can tell you something about Stephen?

Have you gone to the link Deborah gave you -- groireland -- to search?

Other people really don't have crystal balls. They have access to internet sites that you mainly have access to, too.

hi gilian thank you for your pm, i do believe that is him in ireland, you are brilliant to have found that, can i ask a favour of anyone, i know he got married to anne doyle in chelsea, and no children could be found here, but could anyone check if there were children born in ireland, as not sure when they went back to ireland, would be much appreciated. thanks

On the above site you go to frequently asked questions and the first point tells you how to order a birth cert.
It says the records are not available online, they are in the process of digitising them and its not been decided what will be available online.

regards Deborah.

thanks again gilian, i have tried the site you mentioned, but cant seem to get any info, mind you i am not very good at this to be honest, dont really know what im doing, maybe somebody can find more info about him and family, would b very grateful for any help.

Have a look here:

please can anyone help me find stephen hornibrooks date of birth, from the information i have just been given, i am still not sure where he was born, infact i know very little, would be very grateful for any info.

thank you, this has been a real struggle to find him, we could never find a stephen hornibrook, so he was in ireland not america as i was told, how strange, is there a site i can go on to find out more info on him, as i would really like to contact him, but not sure what to do next, and thanks again, i was completely stuck with this one. is it possible to check if there were any children born, as there are no births here, so maybe ireland there might be

Dawn

CHEERS

sorry fairthorne i have not explained fully, stephen hornibrook married my mother in 1949 but he was not my father, i was always told he was merican and that he went back to america 1956, but i now know that not to be right, after a marriage for him in 1956, i also have a birth cert with his name, all very confusing, thats why i am trying to find information about him but seem to draw a blank. sorry again for confusion.

Dawn
if Stephen is your father & your Mum married him in 1949

You were born in 1956
How can your parents be divorced for Stephen to remarry in 1956
the same year as your birth ?

STRANGE Your parents must have started divorce proceedings BEFORE you were born ?

Sorry to be personal

& I will delete if you want <<<<<<<<<<<<<

thank you deborah for your pm, at least i know now it was not him who married in 64, this man is turning out to be a mystery, as you said you can find no chidren to hornibrook / doyle either, can any one help solve this, i can think of no where else to check, maybe he was born either ireland or america. where do i go now.

hi janey it states that anne doyle was a spinster and that she was 28 yrs old his name is down as stephen, father james which matches what i know but still no birth cert maybe he was not born here also reading back my notes, deborah said there was a marriage for stephen hornibrook in 1964 hammersmith, maybe if its him he got married again, and thats why there are no children for hornibrook doyle

I did a search of the births index but there are no births with surname Hornibrook and mother Doyle. I'm a little uncomfortable with this personal info about living people, so maybe if your search bears fruit it can be deleted -- but does the marriage certificate state that Ms Doyle was a "spinster"? If she had been previously married, any births to them would show her birth surname rather than the name she married under.

this is an update on stephen hornibrook, it seems my mother did not give me correct info regarding america, i have checked out john stephen born 1927 does not match, i have got a marriage cert for stephen hornibrook in aug 1956, who married anne doyle, it states his previous marriage was dissolved, so all fits, so i now know he did not go back to america in 1956 as was told, as he is listed as living in chelsea, yet i can still find no more info on him. can anyone help me with this extra bit of info or where to search now,

thank you deborah just noticed your edit about stephen hornibrook marriage in 1956 have sent off for that cert to it says he married a doyle in chelsea i know at one time he lived in chelsea so this could be very promising. maybe need to look up doyle now. thanks again
