HORSLEY of Sheffield

[Joyce Hibberts]

I am looking for the descendants of Thomas and Charlotte (nee Whaler) Horsley who lived in Sheffield from about 1860. They both came from Lincoln. Thomas was a coachman (per census). Sons were: George, Samuel, and Ernest.

George married Helena Marshall and to date I have only one child: Eric N. (b. 1900 (per census). Last in Norton, Derby (1901 census).

Samuel married Fanny Knowles. To date 3 children all born in Sheffield: Amy (b. 1888); Minnie (b. 1889); and William (b. 1893). Last in Sheffield.
