One of my first walls were the Horn(e) family here in 1851 ....HO107; Piece: 2070; Folio: 240; Page: 10; GSU roll: 87334.
John Horne Syresham c.1811
Jane Northants c.1818 (transcribed Harre)
Oliver Woolscott 1845
Omer Thurlaston 1847
Both children I found immediately on FreeBMD albeit Omer was transcribed as Om__ and therefore didn't worry about IGI (first mistake)
It was easy enough to follow Oliver through the census returns, but could only find Omer on the '61 nor could I find a death record
Parents John and Jane marriage (BMD) was straightforward thanks to Oliver's middle name Grubb, but on the census they were not to be seen and quickly disregarded as a couple of bricks.
This morning I thought to research them again, no idea why
Starting from the marriage of John and Jane I searched on IGI for the births of Oliver and Omer, and found Edward Omer Horn, I then found a sister Catherine c.1851 but no Oliver until I took out the parents names and he apppeared with father George and then found a possible sister Ruth Elizabeth c.1862
With these new details I quickly found John and Jane with Catherine transcribed as Hom in 1861, then widow Jane, with Catherine and Ruth (transcribed as Hom again) in 1871
But where was Omer?
Tried many variations before arriving here ........RG10; Piece: 246; Folio: 9; Page: 11
....and death in Pancras 1876 Homar Edward Horn age 30
Would you agree this is the collapse of my wall?
New wall
Omer's wife Elizabeth ...Ricthings???
