We are looking for the birth of Henry HORNER in Southampton c. 1851 – and can’t find it anywhere! We’re also looking for the birth of his wife, Sarah HOLMES (or Sarah HOMES) in Southampton c.1857. They were married in 1874 in Southampton and we have their marriage certificate – but we’re desperate to track down their births! Can anyone help? Thanks! |

The 1881 census gives the birthplace of both Henry and Sarah as Southampton, Hampshire... |

Linda The 1891 census Eileen mentioned looks like the right one to me. People do have a habit of changing their place of birth from census to census. Henry Horner age 39 Boilermaker born Sherbourne, Dorset Sarah age 33 Francis age 16 John age 15 Albert age 13 Jane age 3 edward age 3 Sarah and the children born Southampton The address 11a Cross st, St Mary's Southampton If you email me I will send you the image Margaret |

Oh wow! Where did Francis come from?! John and Albert are listed on the 1881 census... along with another son called Henry. Perhaps Francis is Henry? I'll email you!! Thanks! |
