There are families of Horners living at Hillhousebanks and Woodhouse in the seventeenth century. Most of these Horners are descended from a Robert Horner of Hillhousebanks who was living in the late sixteenth century [95] . Robert may have been the son of Isabel Horner and born in 1545, or he may have been christened in York the son of Bernard Horner, butcher [96] . Robert had three sons, of whom two survived to adulthood, Thomas, and Nicholas [97] . The
eldest son Nicholas married twice, and had a family of eleven
children
[98]
. He lived to the age of sixty and was buried
in Leeds Parish Church
[99]
. Nicholas Horner was recorded as of Hillhousebanks
throughout the birth of his children. His youngest surviving son
John Horner of Hillhousebanks married Cicely Metcalf
in Leeds
[100]
. On his marriage John was described as of Whitchurch
Parish and Cicely of Lidgate in Leeds, but on the birth of their
eldest child James in 1634 John Horner appeared to be resident in
the Lidgate area of Leeds. In 1638 John and Cicely had moved to
March Lane, and by 1644 were resident in Woodhouse
in Leeds. John and Cicely buried two children in Leeds, but
their son James and daughter Frances survived to adulthood
[101]
. After Cicely’s death in 1644, John Horner must
have married again, as he had five more children in Leeds, including
three sons, Thomas, John and William before he died
in 1660
[102]
. Thomas was buried in 1680
[103]
. William Horner of Beeston had a child
Mary in 1670
[104]
. John Horner died in 1693
[105]
. Robert’s youngest son Thomas Horner of Hillhousebanks
married twice and had four sons, of who two survived, William
and Nicholas
[106]
. Thomas may be the Thomas Horner of
great Woodhouse, a soldier who was buried in the Civil war in
Leeds on 1 April 1644
[107]
. His son Nicholas Horner married Isabel
Toppin and moved to Great Woodhouse and had a daughter
Ellin
[108]
. Both sons of Robert Horner, Thomas and Nicholas have sons christened named William, a year apart from each other. One of these Williams married and had a family in Hillhousebanks, but at present it is difficult to determine which William this is, William son of Nicholas, or William son of Thomas. William Horner of Hillhousebanks appears to marry three times [109] . William Horner of Hillhousebanks was buried in 1640 [110] . He has four children of whom only three sons survive, John, William and Thomas [111] . The eldest son Thomas Horner of Hillhousebanks has two sons, Benjamin and Joseph and a daughter Mary, but only Benjamin survives [112] . Thomas died and was buried in 1675/6 [113] . William Horner later married and had a daughter Mary who did not survive and a son John in the 1680s [114] . A
Bryan Horner of Hillhousebanks who may or may not be related
also has three daughters christened in the early seventeenth century
[115]
. A Marmaduke
Horner of Great Woodhouse buried his wife Margaret
in 1690
[116]
. A Susanna
Horner of Hillhousebanks, widow, was buried in
1680-1
[117]
. A related family may be that of Christopher Horner who
marries Ellen Barber in Leeds
[118]
. This Christopher Horner was described as of
Hillhousebanks in 1646 when his servant Henry Reyner was
buried
[119]
. This Christopher was buried on 6 March 1674/5,
and Ellen was buried on 7 March 1673/4
[120]
. Christopher Horne of Woodhouse married
Elizabeth
Horne in 1641 and they had three children in Leeds,
including three sons, Thomas, Christopher and John
[121]
. Their son Thomas had a son Joseph in 1666 who
did not live to a ripe old age
[122]
. Another Christopher Horne had his wife Elizabeth,
of New Prison buried in 1681
[123]
. A
George Horner of March Lane in Leeds buried his son George
in 1643
[124]
. George Horner may have married twice
[125]
. He was buried in 1687
[126]
. The Horners in March Lane appear to have been
resident there for some time. A Wife of a Mr Horner was buried
on 12 December 1597
[127]
. A George Horner, who may have been her husband
was buried in 1601 and another George Horner was buried in
