Having googled Olney, I'm not getting much feel for the place as it might have been back then. It would be great to connect with someone who also relates to that area, and even better, someone who has the family in their research.

Thanks,

James.

Have you looked at the Genuki site for Olney? In case you haven't here is the ulr https://met.open.ac.uk/genuki/big/eng...ney/Index.html

This gives quite a bit of background that might give you more insight.

Glenys, thank you for that. Never gave it a thought so thanks again.

Hi - my husband's GG Grandfather was from Olney - Joseph Horne, born about 1828 married Phillis Harris.

Most of my research begins in the mid 1800's, and includes 8 generations. I don't have much about Joseph's ancestors.

I look forward to hearing from you

Hi Janice,

Thanks for your message.

I've just returned from a lengthy holiday hence the long delay in replying to you.

My Horne research has been on behalf of a neighbour rather than for myself and she is 94 and starting to lose interest intermittently in her FH so I'm not sure I'll be doing much more. However, she may rally and want to get going again so its good to keep connections going. Maybe I can help you with something sometime. You can always reach me through - https://ourmissinglinks.proboards.com/index.cgi

I'm actually in Scotland but from Canada.

Nice hearing from you,

James.
