Hello List I am seeking a family named HORN from Ripley. William David Horn was born 04 July 1825 to David Horn and Mary I have the 1841 census for Surrey but I cannot find them. Perhaps they moved but Family history was unavailable today, does SKS have this family. Bob
Bob, There is a HORN family living in Chelsea in 1841 who may fit the bill, although no parishes of birth are stated in this census. 1841 census HO107-688-14 folio 37 page 13 Victoria Yard, Chelsea David HORN 38 Coachman Y ( = born in Middlesex) Mary HORN 40 N William HORN 16 N Robert HORN 14 N Richard HORN 12 N Edward Alexander* 5 N * The surname HORN is not dittoed for Edward, suggesting that ALEXANDER may be his surname. But the 1851 census has a Richard HORN, coachman, aged 24, and his brother Edward HORN, aged 15, living in Chelsea and both born in Brighton. Family Search has baptisms for both Richard and Edward Alexander HORN at St Nicholas Brighton, parents David HORN and Mary. Some coachmen moved around a great deal for their work. In 1881 there is a William David HORN aged *65*, Master of a barge 'Polly' moored at Beckton in the Thames. He was born in Ripley, though apparently 10 years earlier than the one you're looking for. He has with him a (?) Alexander HORN, aged 15, Mate, born Fulham Middlesex (the census page is damaged and not fully legible). It's rather confusing! Are either of these the man you're looking for?
