The Later Burnsall and Addingham Horners
The
Addingham Horners show the classic pattern of Horners from the top
of the dale moving slowly down to the new centres of work and population
in the seventeenth century. This line of Addingham Horners
appears to have died out in the male line in the eighteenth century.
At the same time, another line of Burnsall Horners began
moving into the area. It is highly possible that these later
Burnsall Horners were related to the older line of Horners of
Addingham and Burnsall. As yet, the connection is unproven, but
I think it highly likely that these two lines are connected. In 1740,
a William
Horner, cordwainer, of Appletreewick appears in Burnsall on
his marriage to Mary Whitacre, a servant, also of Appletreewick
[1]
. Their descendants not only appear in Burnsall
throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, but also move
to Addingham, Bolton Abbey and Cowthorpe near Wetherby. In fact,
most of the Horners
in Addingham in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries
owe their origin to this couple. It is
highly probable that there may be some connection with the older
line of Burnsall Horners who were also based in
Appletreewick,
but this is at present unproven. William
Horner may have worked at the Mill in Burnsall that was let to Henry
Smithys in 1750
[2]
. Or he may have moved to the area from Knaresborough.
Knaresborough Market exported hay and corn to Skipton in the eighteenth
century, so farmers in Burnsall and surrounding areas concentrated
on sheep and dairy herds rather than arable farming. At present, I have
not been able to establish the parentage of William Horner,
but he may have been the son of an Elizabeth
Horner of Appletreewick,
christened on 16 April 1716 in Burnsall
[3]
. This would certainly
make him of an age to marry Mary Whitacre in 1740. However, the
matter is not yet clear. William is variously described as a shoemaker
and cordwainer of Appletreewick in the christenings of his children.
Throughout the 1740s, he is described as a cordwainer based at Hebden,
in the parish of Burnsall, but in 1743 appears to move to Appletreewick
and remains there until 1780. William then appears to have made
a dramatic move to Cowthorpe near Wetherby,
as he is described as a cordwainer of Cowthorpe in the Bolton Abbey
Parish registers
[4]
. However, this may simply indicate, not where
he was living in 1790, but where he originated from. Bolton Abbey
Registers describe the same series of marriages and parentage of
Williams’s children as do Addingham Parish registers and Burnsall
Parish Registers. The only difference is Williams place of residence
after 1790.
William married his wife Mary Whitacre in 1740 in Burnsall. She was the daughter of Thomas Whitacre, who farmed in Beamsley [7] . Together they had nine children [8] . William was described as a cordwainer, but in 1758 on the birth of his son Stephen he was recorded as a Blacksmith. Their eldest son Thomas was a cordwainer or shoemaker and married Lydia Cockshott in Burnsall in 1764 [9] . Lydia Cockshott was the daughter of William Cockshott of Burnsall [10] . It is highly probable that she was related to the Cockshotts of Addingham [11] . Lydia’s cousin John Cockshott of Addingham set up the first Worsted factory in Yorkshire at the High mill in Addingham in 1786 [12] . Lydia’s nephew William Cockshott may also have been involved in the industry as a William Cockshott leased Malham Milll near Malham Cove in 1785 [13] . It is not known whether Thomas and Lydia had children, but after her death in 1765, Thomas moved to Addingham and married a widow Ann Lister [14] . Ann was nearly thirteen years his elder and one cannot help but speculate that this marriage was primarily concerned with gaining land and property. Ann Lister was the daughter of Thomas Lister and Mary Booth, and widow of Michael Lister, who was also her first cousin [15] . Anne’s brother Thomas Lister, a tallow chandler married Martha Cockshott, sister to John Cockshott of Addingham, providing Thomas Horner with another connection with the Cockshott family [16] . The Lister family were involved in Cotton Mills in Burley in Wharfedale, Addingham, Hebden and Halifax [17] .
It would appear that Thomas Horner was well connected, but he does
not appear to have become part of the textile trade. Although cordwaining
may have taken him to Addingham, by the time of his death in 1807
Thomas was described as a farmer of Addingham Moorside
[18]
. His second wife Ann Lister was probably
a wealthy widow. She died in 1812 aged eighty-four and Thomas was
buried in 1807 aged sixty-six
[19]
. Thomas
was joined in Addingham by his younger brother, James Horner,
who married Dorothy Myers, in Addingham, in 1784
[20]
. The Myers family were a long established
Addingham family and were also involved in the textile trade
[21]
. But James does not appear to have remained in
Addingham for long and his later whereabouts are unknown. Of Esther and Stephen Horner, the two youngest children, little further is known of their actions [22] . Mary Horner died unmarried in Appletreewick in 1780 and was buried in Burnsall [23] . Elizabeth married William Thompson of Skipton and later moved to Barden where they farmed a smallholding [24] .
William was of sufficient funds to be recorded as a voter in 1835, which means that he was at least a forty-shilling freeholder. William had died by 1841 as his widow Elizabeth and their children are recorded in Linton [36] . His children Charles and Anne farmed at Hawkswick, Linton and Bordley throughout the nineteenth century [37] . William’s son David had moved to Burnley by 1881 and was plying his trade as a master butcher in the town [38] . Charles married Arabella Duckett and they had one son Thomas who farmed at Bordley [39] . Their daughter Annie married Anthony Carlisle and moved to Cheadle, Cheshire [40] . Charles, Arabella and Thomas were all buried in the family plot at Conistone church [41] . Thomas and his family lived at Bordley house, and his children attended Bordley School in 1911. The Horner family left Bordley House in 1912.
James, the second eldest son married twice and plied his trade in Burnsall as a
cordwainer
[42]
. James later changed his trade and became a gamekeeper
[43]
. In 1851, he is living with his unmarried son
William and is recorded as a retired gamekeeper
[44]
. James had a long life and was buried aged seventy
on 7 Jan 1852 in Burnsall
[45]
. His eldest son William was schoolmaster
at Burnsall Grammar School, Hebden and Barden and a tea dealer
[46]
. Thomas was born in Wibsey Slack, but
remained in Burnsall as an excavator
[47]
. Apparently,
Lister Horner was accidentally killed with a gun in 1846
[48]
. James’s son James Horner was buried in Burnsall
aged 29 on 14 June 1854, described
as ‘of Broughton’
[49]
. James son Stephen Horner had moved to
Ovenden near Halifax by 1841 and had married Mary Robinson
[50]
. It is possible that the Horners had links with
Ovenden before 1841
[51]
. Stephen’s eldest son Charles Horner began
a successful Jewellers business in Halifax
[52]
. Charles was apprenticed to a clockmaker/jeweller
in Hebden Bridge and became a manufacturing and retail jeweller
in Northgate, Halifax in 1869
[53]
. In 1865, he married Sarah Dobson
[54]
. In 1879, Sarah died and he married his cousin,
Betsy Greenwood, in 1881
[55]
. In 1881 Charles is recorded at
the Poplars in Hipperholme Cum Brighouse with his wife Betsy and
his children
[56]
. From 1884 he patented, manufactured and sold
his guaranteed indestructible thimble, (trade mark 'Dorcas'), in
the United Kingdom and overseas. His thimble sales provided the
finance on which over one hundred years of manufacturing and trading
were based. The firm closed in 1984. Henry had several children,
and 2 of his sons, James and Harry, took over the business, and
in 1905 expanded into a specially built factory at Mile Cross. On
26th October 1896, he died of heart disease at his home, The Poplars,
Lightcliffe
[57]
.
Of
the youngest son, Thomas Horner little further is known. He did
not stay in the area, as he is not recorded as marrying or dieing
in Burnsall or Linton area.
One
son of William Horner of Appletreewick is extremely difficult to
trace. Robert Horner married Ann Parsable daughter of Joseph
Parsable of Kettlewell, miner and they had one child in Burnsall,
four children in Bolton Abbey, one in Ilkley and one in Addingham
[58]
. In the Bolton Abbey registers, Robert is consistently
described as a husbandman of Barden, being the son of William Horner
and Mary Whitacre. As there is only one marriage of a William Horner
and Mary Whitacre recorded in Yorkshire for the whole of the eighteenth
century, it is pretty certain that Robert is a son of William Horner
of Burnsall
[59]
. However, I have not been able to find a record
of Robert’s birth or marriage in the Parish Registers of the area
or in the IGI
[60]
. As a husbandman of Barden, the parish church
of Bolton Abbey would have been nearer than that of Burnsall, which
may explain why Robert had his children baptised there. The move
to Addingham may have been in search of work, but he may have been
already based at Nesfield near Ilkley, as he is described in the
Ilkley Parish registers. In Ilkley Robert is described as a labourer,
probably an agricultural labourer.
It
is interesting that his brother Thomas Horner was his witness on
his marriage, not his father, Robert Horner. Thomas Horner, 'woolcomber
of Ilkley' was probably the eldest son of Robert as he married
first of all the children in Addingham on 13
May 1798
[64]
. Thomas had three children, Ann, John and Robert
in Addingham
[65]
. Thomas may have married twice, and perhaps moved
from Addingham to Austwick by 1813, but I think this is highly unlikely
as the children remain in the Skipton area. This branch of Horners
appears to move eastwards towards the centres of the textile trade,
rather than westwards towards the small hamlets of Austwick. This
Thomas Horner may be the Thomas Horner
farmer living at Addingham 1841
[66]
. This Thomas's son John appears to be the landlord
of the Kirkgate Royal Oak Inn, Bradford
[67]
.

William Horner of Appletreewick married Mary
Whitacre on 24 April 1740. Burnsall Parish Registers. [2] This was for a rent of £9 a year. See ‘A Wharfedale Village’p. 156.
[3]
His sister Elizabeth was christened on 25 January
1724 and later married Thomas Wilkinson on 11 June 1747. Her
first son by Thomas Wilkinson was born before they were married
and christened on 19 January 1744 in Burnsall. Her John Horner
son was born in 1744. Burnsall Parish Registers.
Her husband Thomas was later described as a Husbandman of Barden,
although at the time of their marriage he was a labourer of
Skipton.
[4]
In the baptismal entries of his grandchildren,
James, Sarah and John, in Bolton Abbey Parish Registers of 1787,
1795 and 1790, William appears to have moved from Appletreewick
to Cowthorpe. [5] William Horner son of William Horner was buried on 20 December 1775 in Burnsall. See Burnsall Parish registers. [6] Ann Horner was christened on 26 February 1748. Burnsall Parish Registers. Ann Horner married John Wilstrop of Cowthorpe in Burnsall on 28 April 1773. IGI. Their first child Ann Wilstrop was born on 11 August 1777 in Cowthorpe. See Cowthorpe Parish Registers. There are no other Horners in the Parish Registers apart from a Catherine Harper daughter of james Harper of Tadcaster Farmer and Mary daughter of John Horner of Stutton, tanner. This Catherine Harper married Joseph Thackray of Cowthorpe Tanner and their son Henry was born on 4 January 1770 in Cowthorpe. Cowthorpe Parish registers.
[7]
See Parish Registers of Addingham, Bolton Abbey
and Burnsall. [8] Mary was buried in Linton Parish in 1771 , a widow of Grassington. See Linton Parish registers.
[9]
Thomas Horner was christened on 12 March 1741
Burnsall. He married Lydia Cockshott on 1 May 1764. Burnsall
Parish Registers. [10] Lydia was christened 30 November 1743 in Burnsall. Her sisters Isabel christened 6 August 1749, Mary christened 17 October 1746, and Ann christened 26 February 1752 and her brother Thomas christened 11 December 1742 in Burnsall. IGI. Thomas Cockshott married Elizabeth Bradley, daughter of John Bradley and Mary Croft in Skipton on 21 December 1778. It is highly probable that this was a second marriage as Thomas’s first son William was christened on 27 October 1769 in Burnsall. The other children, Lydia, christened 30 November 1779, Thomas christened 15 January 1781, John christened 8 May 1785 and Mary christened 13 July 1788 in Burnsall. IGI. Thomas Cockshott was buried in Addingham in 1829 aged eighty-nine. [11] Lydia’s father William Cockshott may have been christened on 23 October 1715, in Addingham, son of William Cockshott and Isabella Rishworth. They married in 1697 in Kildwick. Isabella Rishworth was the daughter of John Rushworth of Gilgrange in the parish of Kildwick, yeoman. William Cockshott (1671-1748/9) was the son of Thomas and Margaret Cockshott., of Addingham Moorside. William and Isabell had two other sons; Thomas who died on 16 December 1777 aged 72. That year he married Ann Lister (b.1757) daughter of James Lister and Anne Mason on 5 April 1777 at Addingham. Ann was buried on 11 December 1777 after the birth of a son Thomas Cockshott in 1777. Thomas and William’s other brother John Cockshott was a shopkeeper, yeoman, grocer, weaver and flax dresser. He was born in 1705 in Addingham and buried on 10 February 1785. He married Martha Gill on 18 September 1729 in Kildwick. Their youngest son John Cockshott set up the first Worsted factory in Yorkshire. [12] John Cockshott set up in partnership with Henry Lister as cotton manufacturers in 1786 and span cotton at High Mill, after Richard Hargreaves and Co. moved to Linton to spin Worsted. John Cockshott was also a partner of John Cunliffe in the first Worsted mill at Addingham. John Cockshott went bankrupt by 1794 and the mill was taken over by William Bland. John Cockshott had married Martha Halliday of Baildon daughter of Abraham Halliday. In 1794 John Cockshott moved to Tong Park Mill Baildon to join his brother in law Halliday a worsted spinner. In 1803 Cockshott and Halliday sent a 6hp Boulton and watt steam engine to Ambrose Dean, John Cockshotts son in law. In 1786 Cockshott and Lister of Addingham took £276 of twist from Greengate Mill at Keighley. See Ingle. John Cunliffe, cloth manufacturer, and John Cockshott, glazier and woolstapler, leased land on the side of the Wharfe and built a spinning mill in 1788 -1789. It enabled yarn to be spun more quickly than by hand and so increased the production of cloth. A weir was constructed on the river and a wheel installed to provide the power. It was the first successful worsted mill in the world. The first piece of worsted yarn to be seen in Bradford market was made by John Cunliffe at Low Mill. In a sense it was the birthplace of the Bradford Worsted Trade. At the same time others were looking at cotton and there were a number of small calico manufacturers who probably employed people with jennies to spin for them. High Mill, Town Head Mill and Fentimans (later a saw mill) were built shortly afterwards, all for spinning and the hand loom weavers were kept pretty busy. There were many small workshops, and many weavers cottages built three stories high - two for domestic use and the top floors to house the looms, with inter-connecting doors along the row (e.g. in Stockinger Lane). There were other, similar, cottages with the top floors used for warehouses with cranes and pulleys over the large outside doors. In John Cockshott's will he left various cottages with looms including, amongst others, nine in the Rookery 'with appurtenances, bake house, eight pairs of looms and a large weaving shop with 62 pairs of looms'. He seems to have leased Low Mill to Jeremiah Horsfall who was cotton spinning, and in 1826 it was the scene of a Luddite uprising when (hand) textile workers from Lancashire tried to sabotage the new machines which they saw as a threat to their livelihood. [13] The lease was renewed in 1797 until 1815 when it was leased to the Cockshott brothers and part taken by John and Joseph Lister from Haworth cotton twist spinners. The Mill at Malham was insured for £2,400 in 1815. See Ingle.
[14]
Lydia Horner was buried on 13 March 1765 in Burnsall.

in Addingham on 24 November 1767. At their wedding Thomas Lister
and John Malham were witnesses.Addingham Parish Registers. [15] A nne Lister was born in 1729, christened on 7 June 1729 Addingham, and had four children by Michael Lister, William christened 16 September born< 1750, Anne, christened 8 December 1753 and buried 18 May 1775 Anne married Thomas Cockshott, yeoman on 5 April 1777 in Addingham, Grace christened 10 October , Grace married Henry Cockshott of Kildwick, butcher on 16 November 1777 in Addingham, and Betty christened 11 December 1762. Her husband Michael was born in 1724 and died in 1762. He was buried on 19 October 1762 in Addingham. He was the son of John Lister (1688-1745/6) and Anne Rishworth. Michael’s father John Lister and Anne’s father Thomas Lister were the sons of Michael Lister and Anne Bullock of Smallbanks Addingham. This marriage between cousins indicates that they may have been of the yeoman classes. See Wharfegen. In 1805 Henry Cockshott is described as of ‘Cringles’. Michael Lister was described as of ‘Moorside’. [16] Martha Cockshott was born in 1741 and married Thomas Lister in 1763 in Addingham. [17] Henry Lister had been in partnership with John cockshott at High Mill in Addingham. In 1795 a William Lister and Henry Marshall also had a spinning mill at Burley Woodhead and insured it for £540. In 1800 this jenny mill was let by the owner Henry Lister. A Mill at Hazel Grove in Burley Woodhead was insured for £380 by Marshall and Lister, but by 1809 it was owned by William Popplewell. Morton Bridge Mill was set up in 1791 by Paul Lister of Hebden Bridge, John Stead, Thomas Street and William Green, but the mill was sold in 1801. Paul Lister was also a partner in a Mill at Mytholme near Hebden. Paul and William Lister of Morton and John Longbottom of Steeton went bankrupt in 1808. They traded as cotton spinners, dealers and chapmen. In 1779 a Timothy Lister of Morton went bankrupt at Upper Mill, Morton. Thomas Lister of Halifax owned Rodmer Clough Mill in Stansfield with a partner William Dewhurst as cotton and Worsted spinners. This was for sale in 1802. See Ingle.

the reputed father of a James Horner Clifford who was christened
in Addingham on 9 June 1785, the son of Nancy Clifford. Addingham
Parish Registers. [21] In 1652, the Quakers were formed in the western Pennines by George Fox. Even though the village had been Royalist, an Addingham family the Dawsons joined the society of friends. The congregation grew and in 1689 a meeting Chapel was built at Farfield by George Myers, who had taken over most of the Vavasour estate.The Myers built and improved Farfield as we know it today, they in turn died without any heirs and the estate was leased/sold many times until the early nineteenth century. The Myers family were dedicated Quakers and did not support or respect the advowson of the church. There was continuous friction between the Lord of the Manor and the rector. George Myers owned a field near the church which he ploughed up and destroyed the church path. As they were Quakers they never contributed to the church and in reality felt contempt for it. Hartlington Mill was built in the 1780s and in 1789 was for sale with a warehouse. It had been sold by William Myers Cotton Spinner. A William Myers of Draughton has bought £58 of twist in 1786 from Greengate Millin Keighley. In 1797 Draughton Cotton Mill was bought by William Myers who tried to sell it in 1799. See Ingle.
