| Gary (59) | Las Vegas | USA | Thanks to this site I have already been able to learn more about the history of my Horrocks roots. My grandmother was Jessie Horrocks (1907/SLC, UT) daughter of Lorenzo Frank (1877/OGDN, UT) son of Edward Gregory (1841/CHSHR, ENG) son of John (1811) son of John (1779) son of Joseph (1747), WHEW!! No wonder Genesis is so hard to follow...LOL Any information on the passage of this crew, figure they left England between 1841 and 1864. I believe all of Lorenzo Frank and Daisy Sarah Grames children have passed but would love to hear from any ancestors. May steady winds fill your sails... | |
| Michael Potts | ? | ? | Hi Horrocks' All, I'm researching relatives of my maternal grandmother Elizabeth Ann Horrocks who lived and was married in Thornley Co.Durham England in 1911, her father was John Davison Horrocks, she had a sister also of Thornley called Hannah Jane Horrocks and another relative called John William Horrocks (brother?) Family lore has it that she was descended from the Horrocks' Irish Linen family, but that of corse could be nonesense. Please contact me at the above e-mail address if you have any further info. or if I can help you in any way, Thanks - Michael | |
