Horne Family

[Artista]

Hello again...I started a new thread as it is a while since I have been on, sorry. Thanks for the information on Andrew Horne b 26/8/1825. I now have a note of his descendents.His sister Jane was my gt g/mother.
Annie Kate has asked me about George Horne, sorry to take so long to reply.
George was my gt/gt/g/father.I have hisg/father as John b 1730
His son was Adam b 1/9/1757
I have his children as Donald and George/my relative.
I am in contact with other descendents who have 4 other children but I have not found them yet
George had 7 children, incl Jane.She married John Small.
They had 3 children incl George my gt/g f
He married Margt Ann Gunn and had 2 girls, one was myg/m Eliz. Her dau Barbara was my mother.
I would love to know if there are more Hornes, particularly as the 1841 census for Latheron shows an Adam same age as George.

[Annie Kate]

I don't think the George Horne you have in your family is the same as the one I have. My George Horne was born c 1849, his father was Andrew Horne born c 1830 , his mother was Elizabeth Munro. Was your gt g/mother Jane a sister of Andrew ? There was such a lot of Hornes that it can get quite confusing !

[robbain]

I am going to jump in this both off you are possible connected Andrew Horne who married Elizabeth Munro - Elizabeth is my relative she is the daughter of John Munro & Ann McDonald my connection is Margaret daughter and sister of Elizabeth, Andrew was also known as Adam later on in the census records I think I have been in touch with Artista

Thanks for the Horne family information. I think Adam may have been a brother of Andrew born c 1830. In some census returns Andrew gives his birth place as Bower and in others Latheron. The line of this family that I am interested in is George born c 1850 and Catherine born 1865. The first born of Andrew & Elizabeth was John born c 1849 who died at about 6 years of age, another John was born in 1859.
Do you have any details on Mary Ann or Janet?
George & His wife, Jane Macdonald emigrated to Australia with 6 children in 1896, they had a daughter born there in 1897, Jane died in 1898 so the family returned to Caithness except for the two eldest daughters who remained in Australia, I don't know anything of them.Their only son ( Andrew ) was killed in WW1 in 1917.A daughter Georgina emigrated to USA.

I don't know if this is of any use, but I remember a William Horne living at Achcomhairle, Spittal ( on the Banniskirk side of Spittal Hill), in the early 1950s. I think he was a shepherd, and at that time lived by himself, Ithink. I also seem to remember that he was related to Hornes from Dunbeath.

[Annie Kate]

Andrew Horne and family lived in Spittal and he worked in the slate quarry. Some other family members lived in Dunbeath but don't know if there are any there now.

Forgot to add George born 1851 died 1915 I think he married Mary Henderson and his 2nd wife was Jane MacDonald. I also have a note saying 1st child of Andrew andd Elizabeth was John Born 1849 died 1857.

[Annie Kate]

Yes, George died in 1915. Jane Macdonald was his first wife, his second was Jessie Grant. Again I have it John ( 1st son ) died age 8 (not 6 as I said in an earlier posting). I have William in a census of 1871 age 8.

I don't think the George Horne you have in your family is the same as the one I have. My George Horne was born c 1849, his father was Andrew Horne born c 1830 , his mother was Elizabeth Munro. Was your gt g/mother Jane a sister of Andrew ? There was such a lot of Hornes that it can get quite confusing !

Hi Annie Kate
Yes Jane was Andrew's sister. Their father was George// also their brother's name.

Hi Artista,
I have checked my discs for NSW, Victoria, Queensland, Tasmania and Western Australia for 1896 and can find no match for your Jane's death. I can find Jane Horn/e, but I don't know her parents names, do you? Do you have any idea which state they settled in? Every state has a different data base. Tasmania, Northern Territory and South Autralia BDM's are not online. This can be got around, sometimes, with cemetery listings and other ways.
I'll help if I can on this branch, as living here makes it a tad easier.

Cheers

Hi Artista,
silly me,had the wrong year, I have found a death in 1898 in Western Australia for Jane Horne age 36. Father James, mother Ann Grant, birthplace Dunbeath Scotland.
Is this your Jane? Only thing is there is no surname listed for the father which normally (but not always) means that was her birth name.


Cheers
Rhandy

[Annie Kate]

This death is Jane Horne wife of George Horne son of Andrew Horne and Elizabeth Munro, her father was James Macdonald and mother Ann Grant.

[Artista]

This death is Jane Horne wife of George Horne son of Andrew Horne and Elizabeth Munro, her father was James Macdonald and mother Ann Grant.
Thanks to all who replied it is wonderful how this goes all around the world. My Jane died 26/1/1861 in Dunfermline in Scotland. I got a copy of the certificate from someone I contacted on Genes Reunited who is a very distant relative. She got it from the records office in Edinburgh. In case anyone else is interested I will detail the line to me as it is difficult to follow. Her widower John Small remarried and Jane's 3 young children are shown with their grandparents in the 1861 census in Latheron. I believe that William who was Jane's brother adopted George, his nephew, after he married Jane Bain. This made another Jane Horne. George eventually married Margt Ann Gunn. They had two children, Jane and Elizabeth. Jane died quite young unmarried and Eliz married Peter Thomson who was drowned at sea. She remarried George Chalmers and had several children. My mother Barbara being one of them. Once again thanks for all the interest.
