Horner

1841 Census

The first Horner family is headed by John:

Name	Age	Occupation	Birthplace
HORNER John	60	Leadminer	Yks
HORNER Roger	25		Yks
HORNER Mary	20		Yks

John was baptized 26 January 1777, the son of Roger Horner and Mary, nee Horsefield. He married Elizabeth Storey, 21 October 1800, and had 8 children, including the Roger and Mary seen above. Roger was baptized 25 June 1815, and Mary 28 November 1819. This is the only time John appears on the census, as he was buried in Redmire 30 January 1844. His wife just Elizabeth just missed the census, as she was buried in Redmire 18 March 1841.

The next family is headed by John's brother, Roger:

Name	Age	Occupation	Birthplace
HORNER Roger	55	Leadminer	Yks
HORNER Mary	60		Yks
HORNER Mary	25		Yks
HORNER Mariah	20		Yks

Roger is another son of Roger Horner and Mary Horsefield, born 5 October 1783 and baptized 19 October. He married Mary Fawcett, parentage unknown. Their children shown here are Mary, baptized 25 September 1808 and Maria, baptized 18 October 1818.

The final Horner family in 1841 is living in the castle:

Name	Age	Occupation	Birthplace
HORNER Roger	25	Leadminer	Yks
HORNER Ann	30		Yks
HORNER Margaret	9		Yks
HORNER Rachell	1		Yks

Roger was baptized 22 December 1881, the son of Roger Horner and Mary, nee Fawcett (seen above). He married Ann Simpson, 31 October 1836. Margaret, aged 9, may be an error. Their children, consistent with later census returns and the parish register, are:

Mary Ann: baptized 7 January 1838
Rachel: baptized 12 January 1840

1851 Census

Strangely enough, all the Horner households in Castle Bolton in 1851 were headed by someone called Roger.

This Roger is the son of John Horner and Elizabeth, seen with his father in 1841. He married Ann (Nancy) Constantine, September 1843, the daughter of Richard Constantine and Elizabeth, nee Park. Ann was baptized 4 August 1822 in Redmire. Roger and Ann's children are:

The final Roger we saw in 1841, the son of Roger Horner and Mary, nee Horsefield. Roger's first wife, Mary Fawcett, was buried in Redmire 21 November 1845, aged 72. Roger subsequently married Elizabeth Middlemas, April 1849.

1861 Census

Roger, wife of Ann Simpson, is away on census night:

Name	Relationship	Age	Occupation	Birthplace

HORNER Ralph	Son	14		Castle Bolton
HORNER Anthony	Son	6	Scholar	Castle Bolton

Mary: baptized 29 June 1851

Ann: baptized 23 September 1855

Roger and Ann's daughter, Elizabeth (baptized 1850) died, aged 7, and was buried in Redmire 30 January 1858. Also, Mary Ann Horner, had an illegitimate child, Simpson Horner, baptized 7 November 1857, and buried 11 November 1857.

To confuse matters, Nancy is now listed as Ann, giving two Roger and Ann couples in the village. Perhaps this is why she was listed as Nancy previously?

HORNER Ann	Wife	41		Redmire
HORNER Margret	Daughter	14		Castle Bolton

Roger and Nancy's children since 1851 are:

Ann: baptized 3 August 1851
Anthony: baptized 7 January 1855 (perhaps... there are two Anthonys and only one baptism in the parish register)
John Constantine: baptized 25 October 1857
Richard: baptized 26 August 1860

Next is Elizabeth, widow of Roger:
