I'm sure this is probably just a mistake on the baptism entry
What's a mistake?

If Percival William Horne is another person (the father), then I don't know who it is.

Oh OK, because you were going on about all the different names for his wife I was focussing on her!

Did you look at the CWGC site?

Yeah, couldn't see him there. There's an Arthur Douglas Horner, died 1944 aged 24.

No luck on the 1939 Register yet either, but if he was in the Army (which he was in 1930) then obviously he won't appear on it.

Haven't found Ronald or Evelyn using the Register either.

There's a Herbert Horne b. 3/11/08 d. 5/8/79 Camden (same birthday as Ronald Kenneth) but I think he's this guy:

Births Mar 1909

HORNE Herbert Pancras 1b 1


He's in St. Pancras on the 1939 Register, so very likely the same person.

Using the same date of birth, there's also this:

Name: Leonard William Horn
Birth Date: 3 Nov 1908
Date of Registration: Dec 2004
Age at Death: 96
Registration district: Exeter
Inferred County: Devon
Register Number: B75F
District and Subdistrict: 408/1B
Entry Number: 199

...but probably this person:

Births Dec 1908

Horn Leonard William Okehampton 5b 333


So no luck so far. As with Arthur, could be to do with being in the military, or just being abroad.

These Hornes don't like being found, obviously!

EDIT: I wonder... perhaps the children were adopted after their mother's death? I suppose it wouldn't be unusual for that to happen, and the father later re-married. In those days I don't suppose men were expected to work and bring up young children on their own.

Could you please confirm which of them you need to find later. Is it everyone except Percival Wm 1906?

Now I'm on the desktop it's a lot easier to read back. I saw you said it was Evelyn and Arthur you were having trouble with?

I think the Betty Richardson marriage you found might belong to Bessie E M Richardson reg Q2 1912 in Marylebone (I couldn't see a death/marriage for her as Bessie)

This is Arthur's death in California:

Name Arthur Douglas Horne
Event Type Death
Event Date 13 Jan 1988
Event Place Los Angeles, California, United States
Birth Date 25 Sep 1910
Birthplace Other Country
Gender Male
Mother's Name Montgomery

Damn, I just deleted a long post about a possible for Evelyn because I couldn't prove any of it, but immediately after that I found the link I needed! So..,,...let's try again (at least this time I can put it down in chronological order!)


Births Jun 1912
Horne Evelyn M A Montgomery Chertsey 2a 121

bap gives dob as 2 May 1912.

(here's the bit I found just now

Evelyn Mabel Annette Baker (adopted) dob 2 May 1912 born at Addleston, Surrey.

The above appears on a service record that has the top edge missing so I can't see the name of the soldier, but luckily his wife appears as:

May Baker (her surname is Baker in the nok box and as her maiden name!) married 28 Jul 1910 at Addleston.

There's no May Baker marrying in Chertsey district in Q3 1910 so I looked for May X marrying X Baker and found:


Marriages Sep 1910

Baker Albert Chertsey 2a 73 <<<<<
Ingram Annie Chertsey 2a 73
Montgomery May Chertsey 2a 73 <<<<<
Smeeth George Chertsey 2a 73

So presumably May is a relative of Annette Montgomery! (sister?)

Then these are the bits I posted earlier and deleted:

Marriages Dec 1938
Baker Evelyn M A Hainsworth Leeds North 9b 657
Hainsworth George Baker Leeds North 9b 657

Those two are together on the 1939 register with her dob correct.

and Evelyn's death:

Name: Evelyn Mabel A Hainsworth
Birth Date: 2 May 1912
Date of Registration: Apr 1985
Age at Death: 72
Registration district: Leeds
Inferred County: Yorkshire
Volume: 5
Page: 299

Here's May Montgomery and Albert Baker in 1911. Her age and place of birth match May Montgomery in 1901 though I haven't actually looked to see if Annette was in that household or an earlier one as I have to go out soon.
