Dear Leo I am sorry that I can not help with your inquiry but I would be extremely grateful if you could help me with an American research one. I am trying to trace the family of Mary and Richard Hornby who emigrated to America some time between 1901, when they married in England, to about1912. They had 3 children, Thomas, Sarah, and Mary and settled in Michigan, Lincoln Park. Each child married and had children. Thomas stayed in Lincoln Park I think and had 4 children. A daughter who moved to Nashville, a son who moved to Texas, the other two I do not know anything about. Sarah had 3 Thomas or Tommy, Ronnie and Joan. Ronnie I think ended up in Texas. Mary ended up in Gary Indiana Married a police man and had at least 2 children, a boy and a girl. All this info has been gleaned from letters written by Sarah to a cousin in England during the 1950's. There must be living relatives still about in USA so if you or anybody can help with tracing them I would be very grateful. Any web sights that would be useful to me would also be good. Many thanks in advance. Reg Lowe.
Reg, Would your family have a FRED HORNBY in it from this time period? He came to the US early part of the last century. Was from the mailing list area of Lancashire.
