George Horner of Carleton in
Craven A
George Horner marries a Mary Atkinson in Conistone
in 1703
[2]
. So far, I have not been able to identify the
origin of this George Horner, as he is not christened in Conistone
parish, or those parishes immediately surrounding Conistone
[3]
. It is possible that George Horner was the George
of Carleton who held property in Connonley in 1672
[4]
. This George Horner married Alice Bawdwen
in Kildwick Parish in 1669 where he is described as of Carleton
village
[5]
. Alice was buried less than a year after
their marriage and may have died in childbirth. George then married
Mary Hurtley
[6]
. George Horner was the only surviving
son of Anthony Horner
and Margaret Watkinson of Carleton
[7]
. Anthony Horner had probably died by 1668 as
George and his mother Margaret were given permission to transport
fuel and limestone in Cononley in that year
However,
he would then be too old to have children in the early eighteenth
century. A George Horner, yeoman, of Middlesmoor,
24 marries a Mary
Faldshaw of Kettlewell in 1664
[10]
. It is probably more likely that this George
is the one who owns property in Carleton. He may have gained lands
in Kettlewell and Conistone through marriage. This George of
Middlesmoor is probably the father of the George that settles
in Conistone in the early eighteenth century. There may ultimately be a connection between
this branch of Horners and those in Conistone in the sixteenth century,
but I have yet to find it. His family however farmed in Conistone
throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries
[11]
.
John’s
brother William Horner also set up as a Taylor and
may have worked with his older brother, but again the Horner line
does not appear to have continued with him as he died unmarried
in 1731
[21]
. Richard Horner
did marry but I have not as yet found any children of this union
[22]
. Richard Horner is described as a Skinner and
his brother Luke as a Glover, which indicates that they were involved
in the leather trade
[23]
. This may indicate that these Horners were
connected to the Horners of Middleham and Wensleydale who were also
leatherier, but this has not been proven.
A
Richard Horner and his son George, in 1768 were left the
House ‘Hemplands’ in Kettlewell by their landlord, William
Wigglesworth, along with its surrounding lands
[24]
. In 1563 Richard Tempest demised the tenement,
farm hold and messuage to Richard
Wigglesworth
[25]
. Richard Wigglesworth married Agnes about 1550.
By 1584, Richard had purchased the tenement Hemplands. There is
1694 RW above the door of Hemplands farmhouse. After 17 Sep 1587,
Richard’s
youngest son Thomas inherited the farm
[26]
. The eldest son Robert resided at Padside Hall
in Thornthwaite, which he had bought from Sir William Ingleby of
Ripley Castle in about 1586
[27]
. Thomas’s
youngest son Robert Wigglesworth inherited
the farm
[28]
. Robert’s
eldest son Richard Wigglesworth inherited the
farm in Conistone in 1681
[29]
. After the death of his first wife Anne
Leyland he married
Elizabeth Topham
[30]
. He had three sons by his wife Elizabeth
[31]
. Richard died in 1713 and left the house to his
brothers William and Thomas
[32]
. Thomas Wigglesworth farmed in Conistone until
1741, but had no children
[33]
.
William became a
prosperous tanner at Cottingley and died in 1768
[34]
. He had an estate in Bolton, Otley and Conistone,
and was unmarried so he left his estates in Conistone to two of
his close friends
[35]
. Richard Horner and his son George had been tenants
under William and Thomas since 1713. Other lands were given to Robert
Topham of William’s mother’s family. The
Horners continued to farm this land into the nineteenth century.
As the name of the house suggests these Horners may have been involved
in flax growing and linen production. It is possible that Richard
Horner and his son were involved in the leather trade and then due
to the bequest found that the linen trade was much more profitable.
As the first Horners of our line in Skipton were cotton weavers,
not lead miners, it is possible that a connection will be found
with the Kettlewell or Conistone Horners. The only son that appears to stay in Conistone is Luke Horner. He married Martha Jackson and appears to have had only one son George Horner [36] . Luke was buried in Conistone on 17 Nov 1767 [37] . As I have not been able to find the birth of Richard Horner’s son George, it is possible that this George was the one who was given Hemplands in 1768. Luke Horners son George farmed in Conistone and is repeatedly described as a yeoman farmer in the parish registers. George married Ellen Leyland in Burnsall in 1769 and they had a family of nine children in Burnsall [38] . Their eldest three daughters died unmarried. Martha and Elizabeth died in infancy and Mary died unmarried in 1822 [39] . Their fourth child, a son George also died young [40] . Their youngest daughter Thomasin survived to adulthood but was buried in 1811 [41] . Out of the nine children, only four sons survived to adulthood. George was a man of substance as he was a voter in the 1807 and 1841 election and was resident in Conistone.
Luke’s
youngest brother, Stephen Horner attempted to create a business
for himself as a Grocer
[54]
. Unfortunately, he died in 1815 aged twenty-seven
and was buried in Conistone along with the other members of his
family
[55]
. Stephen had been described in the Leeds Mercury
Newspaper of 1815 as being a Grocer, of Stockport
[56]
. In 1851 a Joseph Horner was
recorded as a House and Landed Proprietor in Conistone who may be
related
[57]
. This
may indicate family links with Stockport and it is possible that
Stephens mother Ellen Leyland originated from that area as I have
not been able to find her christening in Yorkshire. Stephen’s older
brother John was also involved in the Grocery trade. In 1806,
he is recorded in a valuation of Skipton as renting a tenement from
a Benjamin Bradshaw, and by 1809 was a mercer or linen draper in
Skipton
[58]
. He married Ann Oddie the daughter of Matthew
Oddy of Littlemoor near Halifax and it is possible
that they met through trade connections
[59]
. John died in 1824 on 5 June, aged forty, and
was buried at Conistone
[60]
. It is however possible that there were family
connections with Halifax. A Joshua Horner, artist
was painting in Halifax in 1837-42
[61]
. His son John Horner of Halifax who was
also a painter and exhibited in Manchester in 1831-2
[62]
. This Horner family
may have had connections in Liverpool and Jamaica. In 1819 a James
Horner of Brockbottom, Claughton,
Lancashire, William Horner of Liverpool, and Jonathan Horner, late of
Brockbottom, but
now of Jamaica were declared bankrupt.
They were described as Dealers and Chapmen, manufacturing Linen
as Horner and Sons at Brockbottom, Claughton
[63]
. Luke’s
younger brother, Thomas Horner, was christened in Conistone
1786
[64]
. It is possible that this Thomas Horner was our
Thomas Horner. The name George seems to occur in most generations
of this branch of Horners, which could have a bearing on the matter.
If the name ‘Hemplands’ really indicated that linen growing or weaving
occurred at this farm, then it is highly probable that Luke’s brother
Thomas Horner was engaged in this trade. The linen industry declined
in the late eighteenth century due to the increasing imports of
cotton and the speed of the mechanisation of the cotton industry,
which meant that cotton products were cheaper and consequently provided
more jobs. As
a younger son, it is possible that Thomas Horner of Conistone
was therefore forced to move down into the valleys in the late eighteenth
century in search of work. The old medieval corn mills in many a
dales village were being turned into a cotton mill by the mid eighteenth
century
[65]
. It is perfectly possible that Thomas Horner
may have worked in a cotton mill in Kettlewell in the early nineteenth
century. The skills spinning and weaving flax into linen would be
quite similar to those needed for cotton spinning and weaving. However,
with the advent of steam engines being used in Cotton Mills, the
advantages of the fast flowing springs of the dales were overshadowed
by the lack of communication routes. Cotton Mills placed near Turnpike
Roads or canals especially were better placed to take advantage
of the boom in cotton. Production of cotton in the dales declined
and the concentration of Mills in Skipton and Gargrave, near rivers
and canals, drew the working population southwards. The dales returned
to knitting yarns and worsted mills. Thomas Horner may then have
been forced to move further south following the cotton trade. It
is interesting to note that Kettlewell lies on the direct route
between Settle and Kirkby Malzeard, a trading route that had been
used since monastic times
[66]
. If our Horners did originate from Kettlewell,
their journey to Austwick would be following a major roadway in
search of employment, perhaps as the linen or cotton industry in
Kettlewell declined, to a small cotton mill in Austwick. As waterpower
was replaced by steam, the small mill at Austwick would have closed
and the Horners would have moved to the biggest employers in the
area, in Skipton. Certainly there was no cotton mill recorded in
Austwick in 1837, only quarries as the major source of employment
[67]
. Of the Worsted Shed that apparently existed
in the early nineteenth century, I have found little corrobative
evidence. If Thomas Horner were a worsted weaver, Skipton was a
centre of the Worsted trade by 1800. The Dewhursts and Sidgewick’s,
both family firms had had small water driven mills in the dales,
which they gradually closed when steam power took over. It is therefore,
probable that the Horners may have initially worked for the Dewhursts
or Sidgewick’s and moved to Skipton in 1829 when Isaac Dewhurst
introduced the Power looms in his sheds. This may have been feasible
if the Dewhursts had had a Mill in Settle, Austwick or Clapham in
the early 1800s. Our
nineteenth century line of Skipton Horners were certainly weavers
and very much involved in the cotton trade. However, if our Thomas
Horner did originate from Kettlewell there was no need for him to
travel as far as Austwick in search of work. There were plenty of
opportunities for work in the Conistone area in 1800 in the cotton
Mills at Airton, and Arncliffe, Kettlewell, Threshfield and Hartlington
[68]
. It is therefore difficult to understand why
Thomas Horner would have moved from an area of employment for a
cotton weaver or a handloom weaver. There
were also opportunities for work in the lead mining industry in
the late eighteenth century in Kettlewell. The Conistone Horners
had been involved in Lead mining since the mid eighteenth century
when George Horner, son of Richard of Hemplands, was bar master
of the lead mines near Kettlewell. These mines on Kilnsey and Hawkswick
Moors had been worked since the late seventeenth century, and a
Smelt Mill had been built at the foot of Dowber Gill, in Kettlewell,
in 1697 by the Trust Lords of Kettlewell
[69]
. If our Thomas Horner were related to these Conistone
Horners, he could have been involved in the lead mining or textile
industries. It is also possible that the Conistone Horners are ultimately
related to the Horners of Redmire, or that there is a distant connection.
This
would seem feasible, however, Thomas Horner, son of George of Conistone,
did marry and have children in Skipton in the early nineteenth century
and so cannot be our Thomas Horner. Thomas married a widow
named Grace Dyneley in Skipton in 1813
[70]
. They appear to have only one child, Mary Ellen
Horner in 1818
[71]
. Thomas, like his brothers Stephen and John was
a grocer and tenanted the premises at 12 Sheep Street in Skipton
in 1815
[72]
. However, he sold the shop in 1818 when presumably
the lease had expired. This Thomas Horner later moved to Hebden Bridge
near Halifax and set up a shop in a former public House The Hare
and Hounds
[73]
. He is recorded in 1822 as
a grocer in Heptonstall
[74]
. He was recorded as a debtor on 13 July 1824
[75]
. He may
have returned to Conistone in 1841 and resided as a farm labourer
with his brother Luke Horner
[76]
. A William Horner, a cousin of Thomas
Horner of Conistone had, originally tenanted this shop in Sheep
Street
[77]
. This
William Horner was christened in 1782 in Pudsey and was the
son of William Horner, stuffmaker, of Pudsey
[78]
. By 1806-9, William was a grocer and tea-dealer
at 12, Sheep Street, Skipton and had a profitable business
[79]
. His tenement was rented from a Thomas Chamberlain
for the sum of ten pounds a year
[80]
. William married Betty Washington from
Stockport, daughter of a Stockport grocer and they had two children,
Jane and Mary Ann in Skipton
[81]
. In 1815, after the death of his wife, William
Horner is reputed to have moved to Stockport, and the tenement at
12, Sheep Street was given to his cousin Thomas Horner of Conistone
[82]
. William may have moved back to Conistone at
some time as he is buried in Conistone graveyard. He died in 1850
and was aged about sixty-eight
[83]
. William’s younger brother Henry Horner was christened
in Pudsey in 1780 but was buried in Conistone in 1790
[84]
. Their father William Horner had married
Hannah Leyland in Burnsall in 1779
[85]
. However, William does not seem to have been
amenable to married life as he was buried in 1784 in Conistone , when he was described as ‘of Calverley, stuff maker.
[86]
. Therefore, the young William had lost his father
aged about two. It would appear that although William senior was
described as a stuffmaker or worsted manufacturer or wollstapler
of Pudsey that he had very strong connections with the Conistone
area. His wife Hannah had been born in Conistone and it is quite
probable that her family helped her care for her two sons
[87]
. William Horner, tea-dealer
and Thomas Horner Grocer are described as cousins.
This may be so but they do to be related through the male line.
Despite his strong connections with the Conistone area, I cannot
find the birth or christening of William Horner of Pudsey stuffmaker.
It may be that these are two completely separate lines of Horners.
If George Horner of Conistone Yeoman had had a brother, they would
have been related but I cannot find such a brother. However, George
Horner of Conistone married an Ellen
Leyland, and William Horner
of Pudsey married a Hannah
Leyland. It would seem probable that these Horner’s
could be related through the female line. However, of these two
Leyland women, only Hannah Leyland can be proved to have been born
in Conistone. [1] Conistone is in Burnsall Parish.

George Horner and Mary Atkinson were married
