Thomas Horne
 

I know a lot more about this one!

Thomas Horne birth 1817 Moreton in Marsh Glos
parents Thomas Horne and Rebecca Clifford
(the Clifford tree has been reliably traced back to 1697 and possibly a lot earlier but not by me).
baptism Moreton in Marsh 14 Jul 1817
marriage 18 Nov 1845 Evesham Wocester Sarah Knight Mill Street Chapel
death 27 Nov 1896
burial Moreton in Marsh
found all census High street Moreton in Marsh
will (yes about 8 pages)
Occupation
1861 census Grocer employing 9 men and 3 boys
& farmer of 700 acres employing 25 men and 12 women also helped in family corn dealing business.

Here's a coincidence Anne - I've just posted details of my MFFF William James Crisp - his nephew Frederick William Crisp is a grocer in Moreton in Marsh High Street in 1891 and has a Leonard J Horne aged 20 as his shopman. Would this be one of your Thomas's descendants?

It certainly is a coincidence. I have found a couple of Leonard Horne's but not that one.

I expect they all knew of each other, as it's not that big a place

I think they worked in the same street.
