The Horners of West Houses and Angram

               In 1526, a Stephen Horner was granted half a tenement in Nidderdale called Thrope, in the parish of Ripon, by Fountains Abbey [1] . This may have been on the death of his father, as on the Fountains Abbey estates, copyhold and inheritable leases appears to have been common. Stephen may have been the son of Thomas Horner of Bouthwaite [2] . By 1540, the farm at Thrope had been lost to the Hardcastles and the Horners moved to West House, near Angram Dam and Heathen Carr, both in the township of Stonebeck Up [3] .

A Miles John and George Horner held a tenement on the Bylands Abbey estates at West House near Woodale, in 1531 in equal shares [4] . In 1539 Westhouses in Stonebeck up was held by Miles, John and George Horner [5] . Miles, John and George may have been father, son and grandfather [6] . A John Horner of Nitherdale's will was proved in 1583 who may be connected. He died intestate

Miles Horner

       Miles Horner may have moved to Pontefract, or had connections with the Pontefract area, as in 1530 a Miles Horner was bequeathed a ‘ violet jackett’ by a Roger Ward of Pontefract [7] . In 1539, the same Miles Horner was a witness to the will of a Thomas Hill of Pontefract [8] . A Miles Horner was Sergeant of Pontefract in 1534 and involved in a case that was brought before the Star Chamber [9] . A Robert Goldisbergh of Pontefract, fishmonger, accused William Wilbore, the Mayor of Pontefract, and Miles Horner of assault. Apparently, on 28 October Horner and Wilbore had thrown Goldisbergh’s cod and haddock into the street, and Goldisbergh had been imprisoned in Mitt Hall in the prison Kydshott on 26 January 1535. On 28 June, Myles Horner had been sent to imprison Goldisbergh again and once again on 5 July 1535. The plaintiff argued that Myles Horner and William Wilbore had struck him, but Wilbore argued that Goldisbergh had struck Miles Horner. Goldisbergh was trading from a closed premise when he only had a license to sell fish on the Market, but he claimed that he only sold from his shop when the weather was inclement.

George Horner of West Houses

       It is not certain who held the tenements at West Houses between 1539 and 1662, but in 1662 a George Horner of West Houses was mentioned in the will of a Roger Horner of Heathen Carr [10] . Roger states that he is a lessee under George Horner, which would seem to indicate that George Horner sublet Heathen Carr, and held the freehold or leasehold.

       George Horner of West Houses appears to have been a man of substantial property. He was recorded in the will of Thomas Horner of Heathen Carr in 1682 as owing £10, along with George Horner of Woodale [11] . George, Roger and Thomas may have been brothers, and George appears to have been the eldest brother. George may also have had a sister Margaret. His brother Thomas left his brother, probably brother-in-law, John Broadley a small annuity [12] . Both John and Margaret Broadley were witnesses to his will, and it is highly probable that Margaret married John Broadley [13] . George Horner appears to have only one child Francis Watters [14] .

Thomas Horner of West Houses

       A Thomas Horner of West Houses' will was proved in 1693 [15] . He was an extremely wealthy yeoman farmer and left an estate valued in total at £294 [16] . Most of his wealth appears to have come from farming sheep as he had a flock of 217 sheep and only ten heifers and eight horses [17] . Thomas Horner of West Houses left £20 to his youngest daughter Elizabeth, wife of Christopher Horner of Lodge [18] . He also left another daughter Ann, wife of John Horner of Newhouses he left £20 [19] . He only left a third daughter Margery, wife of Henry Horner of Woodale in Coverdale £10 [20] . These marriages connect four lines of Horners in Coverdale, Newhouses, Lodge and WestHouses. Thomas also left each of the seven children, of Margery and Henry Horner, including three sons Roger, John and Thomas, the sum of ten shillings each [21] . Other bequests to Francis and John Horner, sons of Esther Horner, and to Hanna Horner and her daughters are difficult to interepret [22] . It is possible that Ann wife of John Horner of Newhouses is the 'Hannah Horner'. Esther a Horner men. Whatever the connection is, Thomas Horner of Westhouses and his family certainly connect many different lines of Horners together.

       Thomas's eldest son Thomas Horner inherited his messuages at Newhouses and he gave both his sons Thomas and Christopher £10 each [23] . These lands were described as 'one little messauge and farm' and was valued at £100 in 1693 [24] . However, he seems to have held most of these lands in freehold, as he only owed only £4 and 4 shillings in rent to Thomas Yorke esquire [25] . His eldest son Thomas Horner was described as 'late of Skarr House' and was also left £10 for his four children [26] . This connects Skar House with West Houses, as it seems to indicate that Thomas Horner had moved from Skar House to West Houses. The Horners of Skar House seem to be a younger branch of the Horners of West Houses.


       Thomas Horner of Westhouses also left a George Horner and Richard Handley £11 13 shillings and two pence each [27] . This seems to be he settlement of a shared debt, perhaps for land. Interestingly this connects Thomas to the Handleys who were connected with the Skar House Horners and the Sikes Horners [28] . His witnesses included George Horner, John Horner and Thomas Horner [29] .

Anthony Horner of West Houses

       In 1693 Thomas Horner of West Houses, son Thomas Horner 'late of Scarr House' is recorded as having four children. Unfortunately these children are not named, but it is highly probable that there were at least two sons, Anthony and Thomas. It would appear that Anthony Horner of Westhouses was the eldest son and inherited the majority of an ancient 3,000 year lease which was probably originally given in 1609 between George Horner and Sir John Yorke and his wife dame Julian. Thomas Horner of Angram appears to have been the younger son and inherited a smaller part of the lands, which appear to be held in freehold and may have been bought by this particular Horner line between 1606 and 1693.

       Anthony Horner of Westhouses made a will in 1776 [30] . He was buried on 20 June 1776 [31] . He left his lands to be divided between his eldest son Thomas Horner, who was also his executor, and his younger son Anthony Horner [32] . His sons are even required by the terms of the will to 'Devide Calfbank by a wall' [33] . Anthony appears to have inherited one of the oldest leases dating from the early seventeenth century as he states that his sons should hold 'or all the Residue and Remainder of the term of three Thousand Years which is to Come and un Expired of the Original Lease Granted by Sir John York and Dame Julian his wife' [34] . His youngest son Anthony was given lands in Westhouses including five pasture cattlegates and Dike Close, two Little Closes and half of Calf Bank for a rent of two shillings and six pence each year [35] . This was a very small amount to pay in 1776, amounitng to a week's wages for an agricultural labourer and indicates that value of leases yaken out on three thousand year terms. It is interesting that the lands demised by Sir John Yorke in 1625 to a Thomas Horner of Scar House were lewased for 3,000 years at five shillings a year [36] . His son Thomas Horner was given lands in Ramp Scarr, Witherdholm and Near Close as well as four and half cattlegates in Westhouses pasture for a rent of one pound and nine shilings [37] . Thomas certainly had the larger portion of the leasehold. Both Anthony and Thomas were given the rights to each others lands to quarry limestone and carry it away, and to burn the lime in the kiln in Little Close which anthony inherited [38] . His son Anthony was given the rights to 'get wood in any of my Lands for the use of Dike Close and Little Close but for none of his Land' [39] . From this it would appear that Anthony Horner, junior, also had 'his own lands' which he may have acquired through marriage.

      Anthony Horner was also very wealthy as he left large sums of money in bequests. To his son Anthony he left ninety-two pounds and ten shillings, on condtion that Anthony junior paid his mother, Elizabeth Horner, the sum of four pounds a year [40] . Anthony left his wife Elizabeth comfortably provided for and gave her his dwelling house and all his household furniture. He also made provision for her to have the 'Liberty to put her peats in the peathouse adjoining to my Dwelling house'. In addition to the money from her son Anthony Horner, her son Thomas Horner was bound to pay her another four pounds a year and her daughter Elizabeth was to pay her two pounds a year. If they defaulted then they would lose their legacies. After her demise the properties would be inherited by Thomas Horner, but all three children were required to pay for her funeral. Elizabeth Horner did not live long to enjoy these privileges. She only survived her husband by three years and was buried in 1779 [41] .

      Anthony also left his daughter Elizabeth, the wife of Michael Downs, well-provided for with a capital sum of sixty pounds [42] . Elizabeth Horner had married Michael Downs in 1750 [43] . Their children Michael, Elizabeth, Anthoney and John were left a legacy of three pounds each. He also left three pounds to each of the children of Thomas Horner, Anthony and Mary Horner, and to each of the children of Anthony Horner, Rachel, Elizabeth, and Anthony.

      Anthony's son Thomas Horner married Elizabeth Metcalfe and his daughters Elizabeth and Mary were both christened in Middlesmoor, but little else is known of him [44] . Thomas's son Anthony seems to have had a large family who continued to live in the area until the nineteenth century [45] . Anthony had five sons of whom only four appear to have made it to adulthood, Moses, Joseph, Anthony and George [46] . Little is at present known of Joseph and George, but Anthony's eldest son Moses married Betty Harrison, had four daughters and died in Stean in 1839 [47] . Anthony's son Anthony Horner resided in Buckden throughout the early nineteenth century [48] . He was born in ‘West Houses’ near Pateley Bridge about 1780 and married Betty Banks in Coverham [49] . Anthony and Elizabeth had three children in Buckden, George, Agnes and Mary [50] . It is possible that the George Horner recorded in Addingham in 1841 in the household of a Thomas Horner is related to Anthony’s son George Horner [51] .

    Anthony Horner of West Houses the Younger

      The Anthony Horner of Westhouses who died in 1776 had a younger son Anthony Horner who stayed in Westhouses. He married Rachel Kidd, probably after the birth of their first daughter Rachel [52] . Their daughter Elizabeth died in 1781 aged nineteen, but they appear to have had two sons, Thomas and Anthony, but it appears that only Anthony survived to adulthood [54] . Their daughter Elizabeth died aged twenty-one in 1780 [55] . Anthony also had a daughter Mary who was buried in the same grave who died in March 1781 aged nineteen [56] Anthony was buried in 1810 aged eighty, surviving his wife Rachel by only fourteen years [57] . Anthony and Rachel were buried in the same grave as their daughters Elizabeth and Mary in Middlesmoor Chapelyard. Anthony Horner of West Houses' will was proved on May 18th 1810 [58] . His executor was his son Anthony Horner. His children Rachel Woodrupp and Anthony Horner were the residuary legatees. He left a legacy of £105 to his daughter Rachel, and the rest of his leasehold and chattels to his son Anthony [59] .

     Anthony's son Anthony was buried in 1847 aged seventy-five [60] . He had a freehold of at least forty shillings a year as he is recorded in 1841 as residing at Cockly Gap but voting in the Stonebeck Up division [61] . Anthony seems to have married twice. By his first wife Ann he had least four children, including two surviving daughters Mary and Martha [62] . Two children Ann and Richard did not survive childhood [63] . Anthony married secondly Hannah Hannam and they had a family of three children Anthony Elizabeth and Rachel [64] . Their daughter Rachel later married John Beckwith [65] . Anthony and his wife Hannah were buried in the same grave [66] .

     Anthony and Hannah Horner's son Anthony later married Hannah Woodrup [67] . In 1841 Anthony Horner was living at Angram, with his wife Hannah and their children Hannah, aged two and Anthony, five months [68] . His daughter Hannah died aged only ten years old and was buried with her grandparents [69] . In 1851 Anthony Horner was living in Stonebeck Up with his children Anthony, John and Joseph [70] .  He was living next to his mother Hannah Horner and his sister Elizabeth Verity nee Horner [71] . This connection between the Verity and Horner families may have been of some duration, as a Thomas Verity held monies for a Thomas Horner of Middlesmoor in 1804. This Thomas Horner of Middlesmoor made a will and left his goods to his daughter Mary Hammond in 1804 [72] . H also left her monies which were being held for him by various Nidderdale gentlemen [73] . Thomas also left a few items to his housekeeper [74] . Mary Horner married John Hammond in 1779 [75] .

     Anthony was wealthy enough to be an elector in 1848 in Angram [76] . This Anthony Horner of Angram, Stonebeck Up, Kirkby Malzeard, died in November 1887 [77] . His executors were George, John and Joseph Horner, probably his sons. A George Horner and his wife Sarah are recorded in Angram in Stonebeck Up in 1851 who may be connected [78] .

    Thomas Horner of Angram

     A Thomas Horner of Angram, yeoman, made a will in 1761 who is probably the grandson of Thomas Horner of West Houses. In his will in 1693 Thomas of Westhouses leaves his estates to his son Thomas Horner 'late of Scarr House' who is recorded as having four children. Unfortunately these children are not named, but it is highly probable that there were at least two sons, Anthony and Thomas. Thomas Horner of Angram appears to have been the younger son and probably inherited part of the estate.

     Thomas Horner of Angram's will was proved in 1767 and he left his estates to his son Thomas Horner [79] . He was buried on 2 July 1767 in Middlesmoor [80] . He left his daughters Margaret and Ann Horner £10 each, but to his youngest son Leonard he left a much larger sum of £30 [81] . If Leonard died before the age of twenty-one his portion was to be split between his sister Ann, who was probably the youngest daughter, and Thomas the eldest son [82] . He left his son Christopher and daughter Elizabeth one shilling each [83] . These were low sums compared with the amounts that he left his other children and it is assumed that Christopher and Elizabeth were over the age of twenty-one and had set up their own households. There is no mention of his wife and it is assumed that his wife probably died before him [84] .

     Thomas's son Thomas Horner married Anne Kidd in Middlesmoor [85] . Thomas and Anne had a family of six children including three sons, Christopher, John and Thomas [86] . Thomas's wife Anne was buried on 24 July 1811 [87] . Thomas's son Thomas was buried in Middlesmoor in 1817 aged fourty-seven, of Stean [88] .

     Thomas's son John moved to Mickley in Kirkby Malzeard, a distance of about twenty miles. It is not certain why John moved, he may have moved in search of work. The move may also have been facilitated by members of the Horner family. There seem to have been Horners in the Kirkby and Mickley area since the early eighteenth century. A Thomas Horner, of Kirkby Malzeard, wheelwright, whose will was proved in 1703 [89] . He was buried in Kirkby on 10 June 1703 [90] . He left his goods to his wife Anne, and only left one shilling to his son Christopher Horner [91] . The relationship is not clear but these Horners may be connected with George and John Horner of Fingerfield [92] .


     A George Horner, farmer, was recorded as a voter in the 1807 election in Grewelthorpe [93] . A George Horner of of Fingerfield House made a will in 1817 leaving most of his estate to his son George Horner [94] . He died in May 1821 aged eighty-nine [95] . He held lands in Mickley and Grewelthorpe. He made provision for his wife Alice and son John, leaving his wife an annuity of £30 a year and his son John £20 a year [96] . He left a large sum of £500 for his daughter Jane to be paid when Jane became twenty-one, but it is unlikely that this was paid as his estate was only valued at no more than £200 in 1821 [97] . Jane was the youngest daughter born in 1799 [98] . Her brother George Horner was born in 1796 [99] . George, senior, was a widower when he married spinster Alice Heath in 1794 [100] . George's first wife Jane Auton had died in 1792 [101] . They had been married nearly thirty years [102] . John Horner, son of George of Fingerfield was born in 1761 who may have been George's son from his first marriage [103] .

     George's son George had the will proved in 1821. He may be the George Horner of Grewelthorpe recorded as an elector in 1841 and 1848 for Azerley [104] . This would indicate that George Horner was a very wealthy man and was increasing his landholdings in Azerley. It is possible that George Horner of Fingerfield House had a brother John Horner. A John Horner of Kirkby Malzeard made a will in 1820 leaving all his goods to his wife Rachel, including an interest in lands in Grassington [105] . If his wife Rachel died the lands were to go to William Heath, John's nephew [106] . This John may be the John Horner who was buried in Middlesmoor aged seventy eight on 20 May 1821 [107] . He may also have had sufficient income to vote in the 1807 elections as John Horner, husbandman of Kirkby Malzeard [108] .

  John Horner of Mickley

     What is known is that Thomas of Angram's son John married as his first wife Hannah Stott in Kirkby Malzeard in 1790 and had a family of nine children in the Mickley area, including seven sons, Christopher, John, Thomas, William, George, Matthew,and Robert [109] . John appears to have continued to move in the Mickley area in search of work, being in Azerley in 1791 and then settling in Carr Bank, south of Mickley from 1792 to 1797. By 1800, after at least a year in Grewelthorpe, John appears to have settled in Kirkby. After Hannah's death John married an Anne Dale, widow, in 1811 [110] .John seems to have moved back to Mickley by the birth of their daughter Ann [111] .  A John Horner is recorded in 1841 in Grewelthorpe who may be the same man. He is aged eighty and his wife Ann is aged seventy-five [112] .John Horner was buried on 11 May 1843 in Grewelthorpe, aged eighty-three [113] .


     John's son John died 'from the kick of a horse', before his mother's death in 1811 [114] . John's eldest son Christopher Horner appears to have moved to London and married Maria in 1823 [115] .  He died before his daughter Maria was born in 1823. John's son George Horner is recorded in Carr House near Mickley in 1841 [116] . John's son William Horner of York was also buried in Mickley in 1865 showing some connection with York [117] . John's son Robert Horner emigrated to Ohio in the USA and had one son and one daughter there [117a] . .

     John's son Thomas Horner also moved to Mickley and married Mary Parnaby of Thirsk in 1822 [118] . Mary Parnaby was a devout Wesleyan [119] . Thomas and Mary had a family of eight children including five sons who survived childhood, William, Thomas, John, George and Robert [120] . In 1841 Thomas is recorded as a shoemaker living in Mickley aged fourty-five, with his wife Mary and their eight children [121] . The children appear to have attended a school in Tanfield [122] . Unfortunately in 1849 Thomas lost his son Thomas to Typhus [123] . This must have been a difficult time for the family, and Thomas's daughter Mary also nearly died of Typhus [124] . In 1851 Thomas was still living in Mickley, with his wife, daughters and youngest son Robert [125] . Thomas's son William was recorded as a grocer in Ripon in 1851 keeping his brothers John and George as apprentices [128] . Thomas Horner of Mickley died in 1869 aged seventy-five and was buried with his son Thomas, and his wife Mary Horner [129] . A Thomas Horner of Mickley is recorded in 1807 and 1841 and 1848 as a voter in Azerley [130] . It is not certain how this connects, but it is possible that in 1841 and 1848 this was the same Thomas Horner.

     Thomas's wife Mary continued to live in Mickley and was cared for by her youngest daughter Mary [131] . In 1883 Mary junior married a James Beckwith, a widower from Masham, when she was forty-nine years old in 1849. James and Mary Beckwith married in Ripon and moved three miles to Masham to set up their home in James's house [132] . Just before the marriage Mary Horner, senior, moved to Ripon to the house of her daughter Ann Sanders nee Horner [133] . Thomas's wife Mary passed away at 8 am on Friday 19 December 1884, having survived her husband by fifteen years [134] .

  William Horner of Australia


     Thomas's eldest surviving son William Horner married Mary Milthorpe at Topcliffe in 1850 and had three sons and two daughters [135] . In 1851 William is recorded in Ripon as a grocer, employing his brother John and George [135a] . In May 1853 William and his sister Ann and his brothers, John and George must have seen the advert in the local paper of the Ann Dashwood, a ship sailing to Australia in 1853 [136] . The Ann Dashwood sailed to Port Phillip, Melbourne and the prices for Berths were listed in the Times as being between £18 to £45 for an adult and half fare for children [137] . It would appear that Willima and his family bought the cheapest fares and were third class passengers [138] .

     It is not known why they decided to make the journey, but it may have been facilitated by Wesleyan connections. They departed from Liverpool in England on 16th June 1853, on the Ann Dashwood under Captain W. Brumwell [139] . They arrived at Melbourne on 10th November 1853. William, his wife Mary and their two children John and Mary were recorded in the passenger lists, as were his two brothers John and George, and his sister Ann [140] . Conditions on board ship cannot have been very healthy. It would appear that the crew were intoxicated, and there were vermin on board which was blamed on the 'Irish' [141] . Many had to throw their mattresses overboard. The water closets were overflowing and unuseable by the end of August, and water was at a premium.


     William and Mary lost their daughter Mary to 'irritative fever' on 23 August, only two months into the journey [142] . Mary died at ten in the evening, and was hastily buried at two in the morning, 'being put into a small box with some coals was committed to the deep, a portion of the prayers being read.' [143] .

     William's wife Mary was heavily pregnant and on 1 September, being only six months pregnant gave birth to twins, a male and female [144] . As one passenger said '½ past 8 a.m. Mrs. Horner wife of 3rd Class passenger safely delivered of twins boy and girl 6 months. They are both living but not likely to continue to do so. The mother doing well.' [145] . One lived about half an hour and the other an hour and a half. They were born abour half past three and their tiny bodies were 'committed to the deep' [146] . The Captain's notes recorded that she was 'labouring under fatal diarrhoea and exhaustion' and it is not surprising that she passed away suffering from diarrhoea on 8 September 1853 [147] . She died at a quarter past eight in the morning and it seems that she had never rallied since her confinement [148] . Her funeral was a matter of dispute according to another passenger Edward Dash. 'Great attempts were made to get the Captain to take her on shore to be buried but after some prevarication he refused and at about 3 p.m. she was sewn up in canvas and heavy logs being tied to her feet she was dropped over board, the service being read over her and the bell tolled. A very solemn matter.' [149] . 

     William his young son John Thomas Horner, and his siblings, Ann, George and John all survived the journey. On 11 November 1854 William went to the Wesleyan Emigrants Home in Melbourne with his family [150] . It would appear that the Wesleyan connection had provided the support mechanism for william and his family to go to Australia and certainly assisted them when they landed. William Horner soon married Emma Peacock in Australia and they had a large family before William died in Bunyip, Victoria in 1906 [151] . They established a Home in Yan Yean and also in Seymour. William's brother John Horner also married Anna Boreham in Australia and they had a family of daughters before John died in 1920 in Yan Yean [152] . William's brother George Horner also married twice in Australia and had a large family in Victoria [153] .

     William's sister Ann Horner does not seem to have liked life in Australia. She braved the journey back to England by 1864 when she married George Hallas [154] . After his death in 1874 she married Samuel Sanders. In 1883 she helped to take care of her mother Mary Horner in Ripon. Her sister Mary Beckwith, nee Horner kept in contact with the Australian Horners and in 1900 wrote a family history summary that provided the links between Australia, Mickley and Nidderdale [155] .

     The youngest brother Robert Horner was a schoolmaster in Ripon until his death in 1875. He remained in England and married Jane Spence [156] .  Robert and Jane Horner had four children, including one son William [157] . Some of his descendants moved to Canada.
