In a quest to find the parents of my ancester, 1820 settler Robert Henry William Horn(e), I found a baptism record for Mary Rachel Horn baptised at St Mary, Rotherhithe, Surrey on 6 September 1795.  Parents Robert and Sarah. It appears Mary Rachel had the following siblings as baptism records to the same parents at the same church are as follows: James, John - born 31 May 1789 and Robert - born 7 August 1791, all baptised on 17 October 1798; also Sarah, baptised 19 May 1793 and Jemima, baptised 26 February 1796.  There is another baptism record for a Robert William Henry Horn (very similar) on 7 Oct 1798 at St Saviour's, Southward, Surrey which is within walking distance from St Mary, Rotherhithe, also parents Robert and Sarah Horn.  I am now not sure whether either of these baptism records belongs to Robert Henry William Horn.

Hi Sue There is a tree: http://www.geni.com/people/Robert-Horne/6000000028060797938 They arrived with no children and according to several sources the children were baptised at St George Grahamstown so maybe troll through those registers to check. Or go to http://www.albany1820.com as many baptisms have been summarised there. As for the earlier family...He was married Clerkenwell. So chances are he lived in the surrounding area. You can search the registers there for other clues ? He was born in 1799 http://www.dustydocs.com.au/county-page/c/1/england/24/middlesex.html#clerkenwell-registration-district Regards Cheri -----Original Message----- From: south-africa-eastern-cape-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:south-africa-eastern-cape-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Sue Wessels via Sent: Friday, 30 January 2015 2:58 PM To: SOUTH-AFRICA-EASTERN-CAPE@rootsweb.com Subject: [ZA-EC] PIRIE-HORN In a quest to find the parents of my ancester, 1820 settler Robert Henry William Horn(e), I found a baptism record for Mary Rachel Horn baptised at St Mary, Rotherhithe, Surrey on 6 September 1795.
