Hello

During my family history research, mainly focused around the Scottish Borders, I've realised there used to be a strong community of the HOME family in Shropshire. I'm intrigued as to whether these families migrated from Scotland or maybe Ireland, and if so whether we can trace from where exactly and from which branches of HOMEs (or HUMEs).

I've looked at Member's Interests on this site and searched for HOME and there seems to be a few people who are researching this family name. I would be very interested in discussing this further.

Regards

Dear Charles

I have a lot of family history research for HOME in Shropshire which my mother, Kathleen Alice JORDAN (nee JAMES) carried out in the 1990s.  Unfortunately I haven't got round to putting it on my Family Tree package.

Anyway, Margaret Sophia HOME (born 1865 Tickleton Eaton, Church Stretton) was the daughter of John and Mary Ann (nee MASON).

Margaret Sophia married in 1896 at Pulverbach Church to Alfred JAMES and their son, John Home JAMES was born in 1903 at Wentnor.  He was my grandfather and Kathleen Alice JORDAN (nee James) was his daughter.

Do not know if this is any help to you.  Having put this entry on the Forum it may well ring bells with other members.
