hi susan read your pm thanks all info i have is that stephen hornibrook married at 22, in 1949 he is down as fish fryer, and that at time of marriage they bth lived in sutherland ave w.9 and fathers name is james hornibrook and his profession is down as army pensioner. speaking to my cousin earlier he seems to remember him being american, and that after i was born he wanted to go back to states and legally adopt me, so he must have been around still in late 50s, is there a way i can find info to see if his family are from states. keep drawing a blank here

Found his marriage in the Indexes
Stephen Hornibrook marr McQuade Paddington 5a 550.

I am afraid that is all I can find on him,no sign of him leaving England so I don't know,maybe he did die and he just went by his Second name Stephen instead of John.Sue

Hi Dawn I am a little confused with this post,is John Donovan now not your father and if he is have you heard back from him or the care home yet.Susan

ok the link to stephen hornibrook, he married my mum alice mcquade her maiden name, in 1949 then some time she met john donovan i was born in 56, i was told john donovan is my father, then not sure what happened, if she went back to stephen i dont know, but i was told he wanted to take me to usa and adopt me, so very confusing,on donovan b.cert john donovan is down as father. the other b.c. is coming this week, also i have tried to look all weekend regarding stephen hornibrook, checked passages out of england up till 1960, his name was not on it

thankyou fairthorn for your reply all last week i have and found my father with you and other kind GR members, then this other name has now surfaced, as you can imagine i am truly confused, i have sent for the full birth cert of dawn hornibrook to see who is down as the father, but i am not sure how two different b.cert can have different surnames maybe someone can help with this

n

can anyone help, all weekend i have been trying to find any info on stephen hornibrook no records of him leaving to go to the usa and yet no records here does anyone have an idea

i have checked the passenger list, can not find him, hopefully that means he may have stayed in england, all i know is he was born in 1927 so why cant i find any birth certificate for him can somebody please help

n

fairthorne i am having to switch off now as have to be at work for 6 but would appreciate any info you can find, i will check in tomorrow and thanks

yes but could you tell me how to check many thanks

yes could be, i can remember being told some time in late 50s he went back to america, but not sure about that, wondering if he was serving over here, but surely his dad would not be an army pensioner would he if he was american

no it does not say he died
