The first Horner family is headed by John:
Name | Age | Occupation | Birthplace |
HORNER John | 60 | Leadminer | Yks |
HORNER Roger | 25 | | Yks |
HORNER Mary | 20 | | Yks |
|
John was baptized 26 January 1777, the son of Roger Horner and Mary,
nee Horsefield. He married Elizabeth Storey, 21 October 1800, and had
8 children, including the Roger and Mary seen above. Roger was
baptized 25 June 1815, and Mary 28 November 1819. This is the only
time John appears on the census, as he was buried in Redmire 30
January 1844. His wife just Elizabeth just missed the census, as she
was buried in Redmire 18 March 1841.
The next family is headed by John's brother, Roger:
Name | Age | Occupation | Birthplace |
HORNER Roger | 55 | Leadminer | Yks |
HORNER Mary | 60 | | Yks |
HORNER Mary | 25 | | Yks |
HORNER Mariah | 20 | | Yks |

Roger is another son of Roger Horner and Mary Horsefield, born 5
October 1783 and baptized 19 October. He married Mary Fawcett,
parentage unknown. Their children shown here are Mary, baptized 25
September 1808 and Maria, baptized 18 October 1818.
The final Horner family in 1841 is living in the castle:

HORNER Roger | 25 | Leadminer | Yks |
HORNER Ann | 30 | | Yks |
HORNER Margaret | 9 | | Yks |
HORNER Rachell | 1 | | Yks |
|
Roger was baptized 22 December 1881, the son of Roger Horner and Mary,
nee Fawcett (seen above). He married Ann Simpson, 31 October 1836.
Margaret, aged 9, may be an error. Their children, consistent with
later census returns and the parish register, are:
- Mary Ann: baptized 7 January 1838
- Rachel: baptized 12 January 1840
Strangely enough, all the Horner households in Castle Bolton in 1851
were headed by someone called Roger.

This Roger is the son of John Horner and Elizabeth, seen with his
father in 1841. He married Ann (Nancy) Constantine, September 1843,
the daughter of Richard Constantine and Elizabeth, nee Park. Ann was
baptized 4 August 1822 in Redmire. Roger and Ann's children are:

The final Roger we saw in 1841, the son of Roger Horner and Mary, nee Horsefield.
Roger's first wife, Mary Fawcett, was buried in Redmire 21 November 1845, aged 72.
Roger subsequently married Elizabeth Middlemas, April 1849.
Roger, wife of Ann Simpson, is away on census night:

- Ann: baptized 23 September 1855
Roger and Ann's daughter, Elizabeth (baptized 1850) died, aged 7, and
was buried in Redmire 30 January 1858. Also, Mary Ann Horner, had an
illegitimate child, Simpson Horner, baptized 7 November 1857, and
buried 11 November 1857.
To confuse matters, Nancy is now listed as Ann, giving two Roger and
Ann couples in the village. Perhaps this is why she was listed as
Nancy previously?
