How about these (1851): Benjn Hawley abt 1845 London, England Son Holborn St Andrew Middlesex Elizth Hawley abt 1808 London, England Wife Holborn St Andrew Middlesex John Hawley abt 1834 London, England Son Holborn St Andrew Middlesex Sarah Hawley abt 1837 London, England Daughter Holborn St Andrew Middlesex Susa Hawley abt 1811 Clealle, Staffordshire, England Head Holborn St Andrew Middlesex The image is very difficult to read, but I think Susa should read John. I cannot decipher head's occupation. Liz

have you found him on any census - if so can you give us some info

I understand what you are saying, but I have frequently found on censuses the name I am looking for being spelt in a huge variety of ways - for instance Adderley became Hadley; Jenkins became 'Tin kin'; and many many more examples. The individual would tell the enumerator their name, and the enumerator would write down what he thought he heard, spelling it how he felt appropriate. I can easily see that Horsley may become Hawley and vice versa. We are at the mercy of the intellect and education, as well as the common sense of the enumerators! Maybe someone will find a closer match for you but I am afraid I cannot. Liz

Do you have the mother´s name of John William Horsley born Sept 1863, or the names of any siblings. It may help us to work back through the census to find the father

Jill, I hope you don't mind me asking but where is your info from? Censuses; certificates; parish registers; old family bible? It would be so useful to us trying to help you if you give absolutely everyrthing you know, and also how you know it if you get my drift. Liz
