George Hornsby for theft of 7 hens at Shipston." You can also find a little more looking at http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Rural+homes+sites+under+pressure.-a0148184111
I am curious though as to where you got the information about Kimbolton, I can find one in Cambridge and one in Herefordshire. How do you know he came from Kimbolton?
neich on 2018-01-06 04:17:22Here at Clareville Cemetery Wairarapa NZ we have a plot for HORNSBY, would love to know more, books say they came from Tasmania but would have to come from further afield orginally! Marryatt Hornsby was Mayor of Carterton in 1914-1915. then with his sudden death his father took the reins, John Thomas Hornsby for a few years 1916-1917. Other periodicals say they were in the Newspaper business.. Now there was a huge reunion this last weekend, and the name Hornsby was included, plus. Dougherty (Daniel and Sarah parents they originally came from New Brunswick, one of the daughters, Ellen became No. 1 REGISTERED NURSE IN THE WORLD, she was trained at Wellington Hospital. Died 1919 the year England began registration) Telford is another name connected to this family.. Thomas Telford came from Stirling in Scotland.
