Hoare Genealogy 08: The Hore/Hoar/Hoare families of the

Buckinghamshire Cluster.

By David G Hoare.

Created: April 2016; last updated: 27 July 2017

In this paper I explore in more detail the Hore/Hoare/Hoar families which I identified in the Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire area including the southern parts of Northamptonshire and Warwickshire in the introductory paper in this series, ‘Hoare Genealogy 03’ (Hoare, 2014a). Here, I am concerned particularly with the origins of each family, how in subsequent generations each family multiplied and radiated outwards and, after the advent of census records from 1841, their occupations.

The H600 Project lists five family branches, B12, K01, K02, K04 and K08 in the area Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Berkshire and the southern parts of Northamptonshire and Warwickshire (cf section 1.1 below).

1. Introduction.

Seven of the Hore/Hoar/Hoare families considered in this paper originate within an area very roughly bounded by Northampton in the north, Reading in the south, Oxford and Banbury in the west and Milton Keynes, Chesham and Slough in the east (cf ‘Map families Buckinghamshire’ – relevant area outlined in blue). This corresponds to the Buckinghamshire cluster of Hore/Hoar/Hoare records which I identified from IGI records (Hoare, 1999) and is believed to include the ancestors of the Hoare family of Annabella, and of the family of Sir Richard Hoare, founder of C Hoare & Co (Hoare’s Bank).

The other two Hore/Hoar/Hoare families considered in this paper have been shown to migrate into this area. One is the Hoare family originating at Leckhampton (3 km S of Cheltenham) which migrated into the area at Tackley (15 km NNW of Oxford) in the early 1600s and has been thoroughly and extensively researched by Malcolm Hoare (2003) (see section 3.1. below). The other is the Hore family of Risford (near Chagford), Devon which has been shown to migrate to Bow Brickhill (in the southern suburbs of Milton Keynes) in the 1730s (see section 3.2. below).

Early parish records in Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire identify Hore/Hoar/Hoare families in seven parishes (cf Table 1) of which six are spaced over 83 km from Greens Norton (3 km WNW of Towcester) along the line of the A143 through Padbury, Aylesbury (with Wing) and Great Missenden, and on to Dorney (7 km W of Slough). The seventh parish is Cuddesdon which lies 20 km WSW of Aylesbury and 8 km E of Oxford. Table 1 lists the growth clusters with the numbers of their descendants.

Table 1, taken from table 3 in Hoare (2014a), lists the growth clusters with the numbers of their descendants.

Column headings: A – number of Hore/Hoar/Hoare descendants excluding spouses;

B – number of male descendants with birth date>1880; C – earliest Hore/Hoare/Hoar birth/christening in family; D – earliest record in parish register; E – distance of named parish from Greens Norton/km; ** figures in columns A and B exclude the descendants of Edward Hoare (b.1621 at Greens Norton; H600 Project family branch K01), of Henry Hore (b.c.1592; H600 Project family branch K02), and of Richard Charles Hoare (b.1836, later Orr; H600 Project family branch B12) of the Orr family of Canada and USA (cf sections 1 and 1.1 above).

The spacing of these parishes along a main road is very similar to the spacing, over 85 km along and around the Exeter to Plymouth road, of the parishes which recorded early Hore/Hoar/Hoare families in South Devon (Hoare, 2014a; Table 1). It was argued, with supporting DNA evidence, that the spacing of 10‑15 km between these Hore/Hoar/Hoare families distributed among these South Devon parishes would permit ready communication between them, and that they could plausibly be descended from a common ancestor. This same possibility arises in this Buckinghamshire/Oxfordshire cluster, and indeed the relevant DNA evidence demonstrated the relatedness of the two Hore/Hoar/Hoare families at Greens Norton and at Walton, lying 25 km SE along Watling Street and close to Bow Brickhill in the suburbs of Milton Keynes (cf ‘Map families Buckinghamshire’).

The data used in this work, as in my work on the South Coast Hore/Hoar/Hoare families (Hoare, 2014a-d, 2015), are primarily from parish records transcribed and available through the FamilySearch website, and from census returns (1841-1911) available through TheGenealogist website and I have adopted an identical approach to constructing a ‘best‑fit’ genealogy to accommodate this data (Hoare, 2014a). The genealogy thoroughly researched and published by Malcolm Hoare (2003, see above) provides the core and backbone of the Leckhampton Hoare family to which I have provisionally attached other branches as required by the ‘best‑fit’ criterion to accommodate other nearby Hore/Hoar/Hoare births/christenings. In addition, two other independently researched genealogies are available, at Greens Norton and at Great Missenden, and have been incorporated, adding more rigour to the ‘best‑fit’ genealogy in these families.

The Hore of Greens Norton genealogy was commissioned by Edward Brodie Hoare in 1989 and created by Hubert Chesshyre. It established that the family of Hoare of Annabella originated from Greens Norton and not from Risford (Rushford) Manor (near Chagford), Devon, as in Captain Edward Hoare’s genealogy (Hoare, 1883). This genealogy has subsequently been substantially consolidated and extended by Acton (2016a).

The Hore of Great Missenden genealogy is a family tree kindly provided by the Rev. Toddy Hoare (Hoare, 2016a; Appendix below) and documenting his ancestry at Great Missenden, originating in the early 1400s at Lee, between Chesham and Wendover in Buckinghamshire.

The link between the Hore family of Risford, Devon and a Hore/Hoar/Hoare family at Bow Brickhill, near Milton Keynes has been established by Acton (2016b) arising from his careful consolidation and extension of the Hore of Risford pedigree. Acton presents evidence that William Hore (1698‑1742), the son of Charles Hore and Mary Buck of Risford (near Chagford), Devon, moved to Bow Brickhill, Buckinghamshire, as Rector and was accompanied by his younger brother James Hore (1709‑1761) who settled as a farmer in Bow Brickhill.

The migrations involved in the growth and outward radiation are explored in detail in this paper for which I have provided a map (‘Atlas Buckinghamshire’) on which the relevant towns and villages can be located, and which is marked in National Grid 10 km squares allowing easy estimation of distances. The information on towns and villages is usually taken from the GENUKI Genealogy UK and Ireland website (genuki.org.uk) which draws on sources such as Lewis (1849) and White (1850). The population figures and information on local industries, etc refers to the early to mid 1800s. The information on the occupations of members of the Hore/Hoare/Hoar families is drawn from the census returns from 1841. The genealogies arising from each Hore/Hoare/Hoar growth point are descendant charts generated by the Pedigree programme (e.g. ‘Genealogy Aylesbury’) in which the vertical lines linking together the members of each successive generation are marked with the number of the generation to make the charts easier to follow. Use the search facilities provided by your web browser to navigate in the genealogies by locating any word, etc such as a name (e.g. ‘George William’), an occupation (e.g. ‘baker’), a place (e.g. ‘23 Front Street’) or a date (e.g. ‘23Aug1765’).

The geographical spread of the larger Hore/Hoar/Hoare families are shown very approximately in maps (e.g. ‘Map families Aylesbury’) which show a set of three nested areas into which the family had spread from its origin in the periods 1538-1600, 1538-1700 and 1538-1800 with relevant towns and villages identified.

These practical matters are explained more fully in the ‘Introduction’ section of ‘Hare Genealogy 04’ (Hoare, 2014b).

1.1. Relating this research to the H600 Project.

The H600 Project lists three family branches, B12, K01 and K02, which together comprise the ‘B13 Hoares of Northampton’ group, and also the K04 and K08 family branches in the area Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Berkshire and the southern parts of Northamptonshire and Warwickshire.

The K01 family branch has so far yielded substantial Y-DNA SNP results and these place it in haplogroup R1b‑P312-DF27, which is parallel to haplogroup R1b‑P312-U152 (cf B01 family branch in Devon) and haplogroup R1b‑U106 (cf B02 family branch in Cornwall) but diverged from these haplogroups around 4500 years ago. The B12 and K02 families are linked to the K01 family by Y‑DNA STR matching which suggests that they share a common ancestor.

The defining ancestor of the K01 family branch, Edward Hoare (b.1621 in Greens Norton, d.1690 in Co.Cork), appears to match Edward Hoare (b.1621 in Greens Norton, d.1690 in Cork) in the Hore of Greens Norton family.

The K02 family branch is the family associated with Hoare’s Bank (C.Hoare & Co.) of Fleet Street, London. The defining ancestor of the K02 family, Henry Hoare (d.1654 in Walton, Buckinghamshire) matches Henry Hoare (of North Crawley, bur 1654 in Walton) in the Hore of Greens Norton family. The Y‑DNA STR evidence suggesting a link with the K01 family is supported by genealogy which identifies Thomas Hore (b.1506 in Greens Norton) as their most recent common ancestor.

A descendant of the B12 family branch (Faithful Hoare, b.c.1683 in Northamptonshire) emigrated to New York in 1861 and was the ancestor of the Orr family of Utah and Idaho, USA and Alberta, Canada. The defining ancestor, Faithful Hoare, matches Faithful Hoare (of Paulerspury, bur.1741) in the Hore of Greens Norton genealogy. The Y‑DNA STR evidence suggesting a link with the K01 family is supported by plausible but unproven genealogy which identifies John Hore (b.c.1537 in Greens Norton, son of Thomas Hore b.1506) as their most recent common ancestor.

The K04 and the K08 family branches appear to refer to the same family for which no DNA results are available so far. Both branches start with John Hore (b.c.1630), but his son Robert Hore (b.c.1666, m. Margaret Caredise, d.1725 at Wallingford) is better documented through his will, and his grandson Robert Hore (b.c.1696) emigrated to Pennsylvania sometime before his death in 1743. The K04 family branch states the birth place of Robert Hore (b.c.1666) as Sommerton and the K08 family branch places it at Wallingford. The Hore family of Cuddesdon (cf section 2.5 below) includes a lively branch at Cholsey (3 km S of Wallingford) from 1604 which includes Robert Hore (bp. 21 Oct 1665 at Cholsey) who might be the Robert Hore (b.c. 1666) referred to above, but his father is recorded as Robert Hore (b.c.1640) who married Elizabeth Cray at Cholsey on 7 Feb 1664.

2. The growth and radiation of the Hore/Hoar/Hoare families of the Buckinghamshire Cluster.

Table 1 (above) lists seven early Hore/Hoar/Hoare families which originated in the Buckinghamshire cluster of which the origins of six are spaced over 83 km from Greens Norton (2 km NW of Towcester) along the line of the A143 through Padbury, Aylesbury (with Wing) and Great Missenden, and on to Dorney (7 km W of Slough) and the origin of the seventh is at Cuddesdon which lies 20 km WSW of Aylesbury and 8 km E of Oxford. (cf ‘Map families Buckinghamshire’)

2.1. The Hore family of Greens Norton.

Greens Norton is a small village (pop.582), 3 km WNW of Towester, and formerly known as Norton Davey before its sale to Sir Henry Greene in 1355. Both the families of Hoare of Annabella, and of Sir Richard Hoare, founder of Hoare’s Bank, originate in Greens Norton, as does the Orr family of western Canada and USA descended from Charles Richard Hoare/Orr who emigrated from Passenham, Northamptonshire in 1861. William Aston’s review ‘Origins of the Hoare Family’ (Aston, 2016a) provides a valuable account of the early history of the Hore family around Greens Norton.

The Hore of Greens Norton genealogy, commissioned by Edward Brodie Hoare in 1989, created by Hubert Chesshyre, and substantially consolidated and extended by Acton (2016a) who is currently researching this family, established that the family of Hoare of Annabella originated in Greens Norton. Recent Y-DNA STR analysis, initiated by Henry Hoare of Hoare’s Bank, has demonstrated that Sir Charles Hoare, of the Hoare of Annabella family, and Sir David Hoare, a descendant of Sir Richard Hoare of Hoare’s Bank, share a common ancestor by the male lines of descent (Sir Charles Hoare, private communication). Acton (2016c) is currently clarifying the genealogy of this link.

The Hore of Greens Norton genealogy commences with the family of Thomas (b.c.1480) and Elizabeth Hore whose descendants multiplied and included 125 Hore/Hoar/Hoare births/christenings at Greens Norton, the last in 1738 (cf ‘Genealogy Greens Norton’). It is possible that the Hore family of Padbury (20 km S of Greens Norton) may be a branch of the Hore family of Greens Norton, if Thomas Hore (b.c.1538) of Padbury was an unrecorded son of Thomas (b.c.1506) and Agnes Hore of Greens Norton but this link had not been included for reasons explained in the section below on the Hore family of Padbury.

During the 1600s, the Hore of Greens Norton family radiated outwards to seven other parishes bounded by West Haddon (23 km NNW of Greens Norton), Moreton Pinkney (10 km W of Greens Norton), Walton (26 km SE of Greens Norton), North Crawley (25 km ESE of Greens Norton) and Cogenhoe (17 km NE of Greens Norton and 4 km E of Northampton) (cf ‘Map family Greens Norton’). Significant Hore/Hoar/Hoare families developed at Cogenhoe (16 Hore/Hoar/Hoare birth/christenings, 1603-1723), at Towcester (3 km ESE of Greens Norton; 22 Hore/Hoar/Hoare birth/christenings, 1627-1793) and at Stoke Bruerne (6 km E of Greens Norton; 15 Hore/Hoar/Hoare birth/christenings, 1671-1794).

The link from the Hore family of Greens Norton to Sir Richard Hore, founder of Hoare’s Bank, occurs through Sir Richard’s grandfather, Henry Hore (b.c.1592; H600 Project family branch K02 – see section 1.1 above), a yeoman farmer of North Crawley, and later of Walton, which are very near to Bow Brickhill and 27 km SE of Greens Norton. Acton (2016a, 2016c) concludes, from the currently available evidence, that there are two equally possible fathers for Henry Hore in the Greens Norton family, of whom Thomas Hore (b.1568 at Greens Norton) is shown as his father in this genealogy. The numerous descendants of Henry Hore (b.c.1592) who left Buckinghamshire and constitute the Hoare’s Bank family are not shown in ‘Genealogy Greens Norton’. A genealogy including some of these descendants is included in Hoare (1955) and in various Hoare pedigrees in Burke (1). William Acton of Hoare’s Bank (2016d) is actively engaged in researching this area. I have provided an informal genealogy ‘Descendants of Henry Hoare (Pedigree B)’ which is included in the ‘Research and Information’ section of this website Hoareorins.co.uk.

The Hore family of Greens Norton again migrated to London when James Hoare (b.c.1607) became Surveyor, Warden and Comptroller of The Mint and had nine Hore/Hoar/Hoare descendants, the last born in 1674. Acton (2016a) concludes that James was the son of James Hoare (b.1584 at Greens Norton).

It is interesting to explore how far members of the various branches of the Hore/Hoar/Hoare family of Greens Norten who migrated to London were aware of, interested in, and in communication with members of other brances. For example, Acton (2016a; footnote 194) cites the Hoare’s Bank Archive (HB/1/2 Debt Book, folio 69.) “Du from my Coz Henry Hoare for a Gold Seale sett with a Dolphin” where the Henry Hoare referred to is Henry Hoare (bapt.1670) and a descendant, via his grandfather James Hoare, Surveyor, Warden and Comptroller of the Mint, of the Hoare family of Greens Norton. From a modern viewpoint, the inter-relatedness of the Greens Norton family and the Hoare’s Bank family has only recently been established by DNA analysis, but did Sir Richard Hoare (1648‑1718) of Hoare’s Bank regard members of the Greens Norton family as his ‘cousins’, and if so was this meant literally?

The link from the Hore family of Greens Norton to the Hoare family of Annabella occurs through the Annabella ancestor Edward Hoare (b.1621 at Greens Norton; H600 Project family branch K01 – see section 1.1 above) who joined Cromwell’s Army and settled in Ireland with estates on Co. Cork. The numerous descendants of Edward Hoare (b.1621) who left Buckinghamshire and moved first to Ireland whence many later returned to England are not shown in ‘Genealogy Greens Norton’. Various Hoare pedigrees in Burke (1) include many of these descendants and others are included in Hoare (1883). I have provided an informal genealogy ‘Descendants of Edward Hoare (Pedigree A)’ which is included in the ‘Research and Information’ section of this website Hoareorins.co.uk. Richard J Hoare (1998) has provided several papers exploring Edward Hoare’s progress in Cromwell’s Army in Ireland and his relationship to, and ultimately membership of, the Irish Quaker community.

During the 1700s, the Hore of Greens Norton family spread to a further nine parishes, extending the range northwards to Mancetter (58 km NW of Greens Norton and 6 km NW of Nuneaton). A substantial Hore/Hoar/Hoare family developed in the neighbouring villages of Deanshanger and Passenham (15 km SE of Greens Norton and 5 km W of Milton Keynes; 33 Hore/Hoar/Hoare birth/christenings, 1767‑1840).

Several members of the Hoar family of Deanshanger and Passenham emigrated to Australia, Canada or USA in the mid 1800s, notably Richard Charles Hoar (b.1836 in Deanshanger) who emigrated in 1861, changing his name to Orr, and is the ancestor of the Orr family of Alberta, Canada, and Idaho and Utah, USA. This link to the Orr family, who had traced their ancestry back to Faithfull Hoare (b.c.1683) of Paulerspury (5 km SE of Greens Norton), was established by y‑DNA STR matching within the H600 Project in which Susan Brooks (née Orr) and Dave Hull, both descendants of Richard Charles Hoar/Orr, are participants. The family archives of the Orr family provide a fascinating and inspiring picture of their ancestors lives as early Morman emigrants to the west of Canada and the USA.

Faithfull Hoare’s descendants are recorded in a variety of ‘ancestral’ and other files in the FamilySearch website (Hoare, 2016b). William Acton has carefully reviewed, amended and extended this record of Faithfull’s descendants in England (Acton, 2016a) and has suggested a plausible but as yet unproved link to the Hore of Greens Norton family. Faithfull’s descendants up to and including Richard Charles Hoar/Orr are in ‘Genealogy Greens Norton’. The descendants of Richard Charles Hoar/Orr in Canada and USA derived from the FamilySearch website are currently in ‘Genealogy Richard Charles Hoar/Orr’) but this genealogy is currently (Dec 2016) being checked and refined by members of the H600 Project.

2.2. The Hore family of Aylesbury with Padbury and Wing.

Aylesbury is a market and borough town (pop.5429) 35 km SSE of Greens Norton. Padbury is a village (pop.660), 20 km S of Greens Norton, 4 km SE of Buckingham and 20 km NNW of Aylesbury, and Wing is a large village (pop.1274) 11 km NE of Aylesbury.

The parish records of Aylesbury (from 1564) record the marriage of Willyam Hore (b.c.1540) to Ursely Edmonds in 1565 and the birth of their daughter Helen (1571), followed by William’s second marriage to Helen Burston in 1577 and the birth of their five children. Willyam Hore’s descendants recorded 40 Hore/Hoar/Hoare births/christenings, the last in 1683 in Bicester (cf ‘Genealogy Aylesbury’).

The parish records of Wing (from 1546) record from 1577 the christenings of the eleven children of John (b.c.1552) and Cecily Hore. The absence of Hore/Hoar/Hoare entries in the records for the previous 31 years makes it likely that John was an incomer to the parish, very possibly from the neighbouring Hore/Hoar/Hoare family in Aylesbury. For this reason these two families are assumed both to be descended from a common Ancestor Aylesbury Hore. John Hore’s descendants recorded 62 Hore/Hoar/Hoare births/christenings, the last in 1868 (cf ‘Genealogy Aylesbury’).

The parish records of Padbury (from 1538) show no Hore/Hoar/Hoare entries until the christening in 1563‑74 of the four children of Thomas Hoare (b.c.1538) from whom no descendants are recorded. Local parish records provide no birth record for Thomas. He may well have been born in Padbury before parish records commenced, or he could plausibly be an unrecorded son of Thomas (b.c.1506) and Agnes Hore of Greens Norton (20 km N of Padbury) or share a common Ancestor Aylesbury Hore with the Hore families of Aylesbury and Wing. The latter option is adopted in this genealogy and the combined family is referred to as the Aylesbury family henceforward.

By 1700, the Aylesbury family had radiated outwards to seven further parishes bounded by Leckhamstead (26 km NNW of Aylesbury and 15 km W of Milton Keynes) in the north, Bicester (23 km WNW of Aylesbury) in the west and Great Missenden (13 km S of Aylesbury) in the southeast (cf ‘Map families Aylesbury’). By 1800 the family had radiated to a further 4 or 5 parishes and the range had extended to Whilton (43 km NNW of Aylesbury and 12 km WNW of Northampton) or, speculatively, as far as Kings Cliffe (82 km NNE of Aylesbury and 20 km W of Peterborough) in the north (and not shown in ‘Map families Aylesbury’).

2.3. The Hore family of Great Missenden.

Great Missenden is a substantial village (pop.2225) 60 km SSE of Greens Norton and 12 km SSE of Aylesbury. The villages of Little Missenden (pop.1011) and Chalfont St Giles (pop.1228) lie 3 km and 13 km respectively to the south west. The small village of Great Hampden (pop.290) lies 4 km to the west and the hamlet of Lee (pop.142) lies 4 km to the north‑northeast (cf ‘Map families Great Missenden’). The personal family tree of Rev. Toddy Hoare (Hoare 2016a; cf notes in Appendix) provides valuable information in this area which complements the local parish and census records.

Toddy Hoare’s family tree starts with Richard Hoare of Lee (1430‑1487) and the parish records of Great Hampden (from 1557) show his great‑great‑grandson Edmond Hoare marrying Anna Lyred in 1565. Edmond’s younger brother George Hore (b.c.1570) appears as the father of Sessely Hore, christened in 1595 at Radnage (14 km WSW of Great Missenden) Local parish records do not provide a link from George to the Hore/Hoar/Hoare descendants at Wendover, as the family tree notes suggest, and these are entered as descendants of George’s elder brother Edmond (cf ‘Genealogy Great Missenden’).

The marriages but not the births of Edmond’s three sons appear in local parish records. Edward Hore (b.1566) married Frauncis Weste in 1603 at Great Missenden where they raised their family. Henry (Harry) Hore (b.c.1579) married Katheren Lewen in 1604 at Little Missenden; their children were baptised variously at Great Missenden, Little Missenden and Great Hampden. Michael Hore (b.c.1581) married Mary Barre in 1604 at Chalfont St Giles and his descendants settled at Radnage (14 km WSW of Great Missenden). John Hore (b.c.1563) whose son John was christened at Cholesbury (8 km NNE of Great Missenden) in 1588 may have been a fourth brother in this family.

Substantial Hore/Hoar/Hoare families developed at Great Hampden with 18 Hore/Hoar/Hoare christenings from 1576 to 1694, and at Great Missenden with 56 Hore/Hoar/Hoare births/christenings from 1603 to 1891 (with a further 6 contributed by the Aylesbury family from 1611 to 1625).

By 1700, the family had radiated outwards into a total of 13 parishes bounded by Ivinghoe (17 km N of Great Missenden) in the north, Radnage (14 km WSW of Great Missenden) in the west and Eton (25 km SSE of Great Missenden) in the southeast (cf ‘Map families Great Missenden’). Radnage recorded six Hore/Hoar/Hoare christenings from 1626 to 1703 and Wendover recorded 26 Hore/Hoar/Hoare births/christening from 1678 to 1906.

By 1800 the family had moved to a further 13 parishes and the range had extended to Aylesbury (16 km NW of Great Missenden) in the northwest, Bix (25 km SW of Great Missenden) in the southwest and Iver (22 km SE of Great Missenden) in the southeast. Aylesbury recorded 16 Hore/Hoar/Hoare births/christenings from the Great Missenden family from 1752 to 1862. Chesham (7 km E of Great Missenden) recorded 11 Hore/Hoar/Hoare births/christenings from 1773 to 1848 and, just to the south, Amersham (9 km ESE of Great Missenden) recorded 21 Hore/Hoar/Hoare births/christenings from 1783 to 1885. Further west, Bix recorded 8 Hore/Hoar/Hoare births/christenings from 1758 to 1774 and, just to the northeast, Turville (18 km SW of Great Missenden) recorded 21 Hore/Hoar/Hoare births/christenings from 1778 to 1861. In the south, Datchet (25 km SSE of Great Missenden) recorded 31 Hore/Hoar/Hoare births/christening from 1795 to 1846.

By 1911 this had extended to a further 11 parishes and the range had extended to Ickford (25 km WNW of Great Missenden) in the west. High Wycombe (10 km SW of Great Missenden) recorded 23 Hore/Hoar/Hoare births/christening from 1811 to 1901 and Watlington (23 km WSW of Great Missenden) recorded 14 Hore/Hoar/Hoare births/christening from the Great Missenden family from 1851 to 1891.

2.4. The Hore family of Dorney.

Dorney is a small village (pop.324) 83 km SSE of Greens Norton and 7 km W of Slough. When parish records commenced in 1538, they recorded two active Hore/Hoar/Hoare families, Roger Hore (b.c.1524) and his wife Johanna Dollwin, and Walter Hore (b.c.1525). Walter had only one recorded Hore/Hoar/Hoare descendant, his son Thomas (b.1550), and Roger had four recorded Hore/Hoar/Hoare descendants of whom the last was Anne Hore (b.1612 at Eton) (cf ‘Genealogy Dorney’).

2.5. The Hore family of Cuddesdon.

Cuddesdon is a small village (pop.c.300) 45 km S of Greens Norton and 8 km ESE of Oxford. Sutton Courtenay is a substantial village which lies 16 km to the SE of Cuddesdon and Worminghall (pop.314) lies about 7 km to the northeast (cf ‘Map families Cuddesdon’).

The parish records of Cuddesdon (from 1541) record the christenings in 1550 and 1552 of two children, William and Katerin, of Richard Hore (b.c.1525). The parish records of Sutton Courtenay (from 1538) record the christening of Richard Hore in 1546 and the parish records of Worminghall (from 1538) record the christening of Margeria and Thomas Hore in 1554 and 1556; the father of these latter children is not named and is most probably Richard Hore (cf ‘Genealogy Cuddesdon’).

The descendants of Richard Hore (b.1546 at Sutton Courtney) include 460 Hore/Hoar/Hoare births/christenings (the last in 1909), the descendants of William Hore (b.1550 at Cuddesdon) include 16 Hore/Hoar/Hoare births/christenings (the last in 1667), the descendants of Thomas Hore (b.1556 at Worminghall) include 448 Hore/Hoar/Hoare births/christenings (the last in 1911), and the descendants of John Hore (b.c.1561 and probably a son of Richard Hore, b.c.1525) include 11 Hore/Hoar/Hoare births/christenings (the last in 1618).

During the 1500s the Cuddesdon Hore family had spread to 11 parishes roughly bounded in the NE by Ludgershall, in the N by Bicester, in the NW by Kirtlington, in the W by Great Coxwell, in the SW by Childrey and in the SE by Cuddesdon. During the 1600s the family spread to a further 18 parishes in a total area roughly bounded in the NE by Ludgershall, in the N by Hornton, in the W by Coleshill, in the SW by Childrey, in the S by Cholsey, in the SE by Cuddesdon and in the E by Worminghall (cf ‘Map families Cuddesdon’).

The descendants of William Hore (b.1550 at Cuddesdon) migrated to Little Coxwell (32 km WSW of Cuddesdon) where they recorded 13 Hore/Hoar/Hoare births/christenings between 1582 and 1667.

The descendants of Richard Hore (b.1546 at Sutton Courtenay) recorded 55 Hore/Hoar/Hoare birth/christenings between 1546 and 1849 at Sutton Courtenay. A branch of the family migrated to Shrivenham (16 km WSW of Sutton Courtney) where they recorded 11 Hore/Hoar/Hoare births/christenings between 1604 and 1752, and then back to Sandford on Thames (9 km N of Sutton Courtenay) where they recorded 10 Hore/Hoar/Hoare births/christenings between 1620 and 1711. The family spread from Shrivenham to the neighbouring village of Uffington where 27 Hore/Hoar/Hoare births/christenings were recorded between 1654 and 1754, and from Sandford on Thames to the neighbouring village of Sunningwell where 18 Hore/Hoar/Hoare births/christenings were recorded between 1626 and 1689. A branch of the Sutton Courtenay family also migrated to Little Coxwell in 1613 to join their cousins descended from William Hore (see above) where they recorded 33 Hore/Hoar/Hoare births/christenings between 1613 and 1710.

A substantial Hore/Hoar/Hoare family emerged at Childrey (3 km W of Wantage and 15 km WSW of Sutton Courtenay), probably migrating from Sutton Courteney, which recorded 20 Hore/Hoar/Hoare births/christenings were recorded between 1590 and 1690.

A further substantial Hore/Hoar/Hoare family emerged at Cholsey (3 km S of Wallingford and 11 km SE of Sutton Courtenay), probably migrating from Sutton Courteney, which recorded 38 Hore/Hoar/Hoare births/christenings between 1604 and 1820. This family branched out to Hagbourne (4 km W of Cholsey) where 57 Hore/Hoar/Hoare births/christenings were recorded between 1618 and 1839,and probably to South Moreton (2 km W of Cholsey) where 18 Hore/Hoar/Hoare births/christenings were recorded between 1667 and 1721. It is possible that Robert Hore (bp. 21 Oct 1665 at Cholsey) is the Robert Hore (b.c.1666, m. Margaret Caredise, d.1725 at Wallingford) in the K04 and K10 H600 family branches whose son Robert Hore (b.c.1696) emigrated to Pennsylvania sometime before his death in 1743 (cf section 1.1 above).

The migration of Hore/Hoar/Hoare families from Cholsey, Sandford on Thames and Sutton Courtenay established a large Hore/Hoar/Hoare community at Radley (5 km N of Sutton Courtenay) where 39 Hore/Hoar/Hoare births/christenings were recorded between 1685 and 1765.

Thomas Hore (b.1556 in Cuddesdon) moved first to Kirtlington (15 km N of Oxford) and then to Bicester (18 km NNE of Oxford and 8 km NE of Kirtlington). In the early 1600s his family radiated outwards to Hornton (40 km NNW of Oxford and 8 km NW of Banbury) and also established substantial families at Kidlington (10 km N of Oxford; 18 Hore/Hoar/Hoare christenings, 1613‑1689) and at Oxford (27 Hore/Hoar/Hoare births/christenings, 1614‑1901). The family radiated further when Robert Hore (b.1649 at Kidlington) established a substantial family at Bampton (20 km W of Oxford; 76 Hore/Hoar/Hoare births/christenings, 1695‑1868).

John Hoare (b.c.1561) moved to Ludgershall (15 km NNE of Cuddesdon) to marry first Agnes Surre and then Joane Stanton and raise their family (1587-1618).

During the 1700s the Cuddesdon Hore family had spread to a further 25 parishes within an area roughly bounded in the NE by Ludgershall, in the N by Hornton, in the W by Coleshill, in the SW by Shrivenham and Childrey and in the SE by Bisham (cf ‘Map families Cuddesdon’).

The descendants of Thomas Hore (b.1556 in Cuddesdon) radiated further in the 1700s to the south east when William (b.1674) and Jane Hore migrated from Kidlington to Waterperry (13 km E of Oxford), their son Thomas Hore (b.1713 in Waterperry) and his wife Mary migrated further to establish a substantial family at Brightwell Baldwin (18 km SE of Oxford; 17 Hore/Hoar/Hoare christenings, 1740‑1793), and Thomas’ grandsons Jacob Hore (b.1776 at Brightwell Baldwin) and his wife Sarah, and William Hore (b.1781 at Brightwell Baldwin) and his wife Elizabeth moved 4 km east and established a substantial family at Watlington (20 km SE of Oxford ; 60 Hore/Hoar/Hoare births/christenings, 1801‑1911). The Bampton family radiated outwards to Southleigh (9 km NE from Bampton; 17 Hore/Hoar/Hoare births/christenings, 1787‑1890) and to Lew (3 km N from Bampton; 15 Hore/Hoar/Hoare births/christenings, 1791‑1873).

3. Hore/Hoar/Hoare migrants into the Buckinghamshire Cluster.

There were a number of Hore/Hoar/Hoare migrants into the Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Northamptonshire area. One was Giles Hoare, son of John Hoare (b.c.1540) of Leckhampton (near Cheltenham) in Gloucestershire (section 3.1 below), two of these were sons of Charles Hore (b.c.1663) and Mary Buck of the Hore family of Risford (near Chagford) in Devon (section 3.2. below), two were descendants of Sir Richard Hoare (b.1648), founder of Hoare’s Bank (section 3.2. below) and there were also a range of other inward migrants (section 3.3. below).

3.1. The Hoare family of Leckhampton (near Cheltenham), Gloucestershire.

Malcolm Hoare has published (Hoare, 2003) a substantial genealogy of the Hoare family originating at Leckhampton near Cheltenham in Gloucestershire (219 Hoare birth/christenings, 1515-1973). This family forms the core and backbone of the Leckhampton Hoare family in this genealogy to which have been provisionally added 175 other Hore/Hoar/Hoare births/christenings (1709-1905) to provide the ‘best fit’ genealogy for all of the data available (cf ‘Genealogy Leckhampton’ and ‘Map families Leckhampton’).

Malcolm Hoare’s genealogy starts with Richard Hoare (b.c.1515) and his wife Ellen of Leckhampton and during the 1500s the family spread also to Deerhurst (10 km NW of Cheltenham). Giles Hoare (b.c.1600 in Leckhampton) married Catherine Heathe at St Giles in Oxford in 1627 and settled at Tackley (15 km NNW of Oxford) where he established substantial Hoare family (128 Hoare births/christenings, 1627-1898), all descendants of Giles Hoare.

During the 1700s, Malcolm Hoare’s genealogy records that Thomas Hoare (b.1664 in Tackley) migrated 20 km north in 1704 to Banbury to marry Mary Shaw. A substantial Hore/Hoar/Hoare family developed at Banbury (70 Hore/Hoar/Hoare births/christenings, 1706‑1905) of whom 66 were descendants of Thomas Hoare, and in 1792 a small branch spread north to Fenny Compton (12 km NNW of Banbury). The ‘best fit’ of the available data adds Richard Hoare (b.c.1683 probably at Tackley) who migrated 20 km northwest to Brailes (15 km W of Banbury) to marry Jane Walker where another substantial Hore/Hoar/Hoare family developed (43 Hore/Hoar/Hoare births/christenings, 1709‑1869) of whom all were descendants of Richard Hoare.

After 1800, the Leckhampton Hoare family radiated out to a further 15 parishes. A substantial Hore/Hoar/Hoare community developed at Northampton (60 Hore/Hoar/Hoare births/christenings, 1828‑1909) including 39 from the Leckampton family (21 in Malcolm Hoare’s genealogy), 16 from the Bow Hill (Risford) family (see section 3.2 below) and five from other migrants into the area (see section 3.3 below). Significant Hore/Hoar/Hoare families also developed at Radway (10 km NE of Brailes; 12 Hore/Hoar/Hoare births/christenings 1830‑1861), Deddington (Clifton) (9 km S of Banbury; 14 Hore/Hoar/Hoare birth/christenings, 1833‑1901) and Oxford (10 Hore/Hoar/Hoare births/christenings, 1854‑1902). The family radiated as far north as Kettering, Nuneaton and Birmingham.

3.2. The Hore family of Risford (near Chagford), Devon.

The parish records (from 1653) of Bow Brickhill (5 km SE of Milton Keynes) record the christenings from 1732 to 1744 of the family of James Hore, a farmer, and his wife Elizabeth. James’ descendants recorded 107 Hore/Hoar/Hoare births/christenings, the last in 1893 in Northampton. William Acton (2016b) has shown conclusively, on the basis of family wills and legal documents, that James Hore was the son of Charles Hore and Mary Buck of the Hore family of Risford (near Chagford) in Devon (cf ‘Genealogy Bow Brickhill’).

Acton (2016b) has also reported good evidence that William Hore (b.c.1698), the son of Charles Hore and Mary Buck and elder brother of James Hore, was appointed as Rector of Bow Brickhill from 1722 until his death in 1744 and also as Rector of Tingrith in Bedfordshire (10 km E of Bow Brickhill) from 1724 to 1744.

During the 1700s, the family of James Hore (b.1709) developed substantially at Bow Brickhill (23 Hore/Hoar/Hoare christenings, 1732‑1781) and the family radiated outwards into five other parishes bounded by Dunton (12 km SW of Bow Brickhill) and Mentmore and Stanbridge (both 13 km S of Bow Brickhill) (cf ‘Map families Bow Brickhill’).

During the 1800s, a substantial family developed when John Hoar (b.1778 at Bow Brickhill) married Elizabeth in 1815 and raised a family at Newport Pagnell (10 km N of Bow Brickhill; 25 Hore/Hoar/Hoare births/christenings, 1816‑1867). Acton (2016b) has produced evidence that Charles Hore (b.1789 at Little Brickhill) migrated to the Isle of Sheppey in Kent to marry Ann Crown in 1811 and raise their family.

It is an intriguing coincidence that the migration of William and James Hore, sons of Charles Hore and Lady Mary Buck, of the Hoare of Risford (near Chagford) family from Devon was to Bow Brickhill, within a very few kilometres of Walton and only 25 km from Greens Norton where the Hoare’s Bank and the Annabella families originated. The immediate explanation is, of course, that Lady Mary’s father, Sir William Buck, Bart, of Hamby Grange, Lincoln, held the advowson of the parish of Bow Brickhill, but how much mutual awareness, interest and communication does this imply between these families which shared the same surname, before or after this move?

3.3. The Hoare descendants of Sir Richard Hoare, founder of Hoare’s Bank.

Although the grandfather of Sir Richard Hoare, founder of Hoare’s Bank, lived at Walton (1 km from Bow Brickhill), his father then migrated to London where Sir Richard was born. However, two branches of his descendants returned in later generations to live in the Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Northamptonshire area (cf an informal genealogy ‘Descendants of Henry Hoare (Pedigree B)’ which is included in the ‘Research and Information’ section of this website Hoareorins.co.uk).

Henry Hugh Hoare (b.1762), a partner in Hoare’s Bank in Fleet Street, inherited his father’s estate at Barne Elms, Barnes, Surry in 1787. He purchased land at Wavendon (5 km NW of Bow Brickhill) and then purchased Wavendon Hall in 1798. Henry Hugh Hoare lived at Wavendon where several of his younger children were christened and where he died and was buried in 1841. He succeeded as 3^rd Baronet and inherited Stourhead in Wiltshire in 1838 in the death of his elder half-brother Sir Richard Colt Hoare. Wavendon Hall remained in his family until it was sold in 1919 by Sir Henry Hugh Arthur Hoare, the 6^th Baronet, who also bequeathed Stourhead to the National Trust in 1945 before his death in 1947.

When Henry Hugh Hoare moved to Wavendon Hall in 1798, he was surrounded by numerous family connections. He was only 5 km NW of Bow Brickhill where a substantial Hore/Hoar/Hoare family descended from the Hore family of Risford (near Chagford) in Devon had been established with 23 Hore/Hoar/Hoare christenings between 1732 and 1781 (cf section 3.1. above), and a similar distance from Walton where his own ancestor, Henry Hore (b.c.1592), the grandfather of Sir Richard Hoare, founder of Hoare’s Bank, had been a yeoman farmer. The Bow Brickhill family subsequently radiated outwards to form substantial Hore/Hoar/Hoare families nearby at Newport Pagnell (10 km N of Bow Brickhill; 25 Hore/Hoar/Hoare births/christenings, 1816‑1867) and at Passenham (14 km WNW of Bow Brickhill; 25 Hore/Hoar/Hoare births/christenings, 1816‑1867) (cf ‘Map families Bow Brickhill’).

Gerard Noel Hoare (b.1811), a partner in Hoare’s Brewery at East Smithfield, London, married in 1834 Sophia Lilias O’Brien, daughter of Stafford O’Brien of Blatherwycke Park, Blatherwycke (22 km W of Peterborough), who died in 1864. Gerard Noel Hoare’s son, Stafford O’Brien Hoare, was born in 1843 at Blatherwycke Park and in 1880 he purchased Turville Hall (10 km W of High Wycombe). After Stafford O’Brien Hoare’s death in 1906, Turville Hall was inherited by his daughter Lilias Frances Matilda Hoare (b.1880) and after her marriage in 1910 to Major Edward Spencer Nairne, who took the name Hoare-Nairne, Turville Hall became the home of the Hoare-Nairne family.

The parish records of Cliffe (Kings Cliffe; 5 km ENE of Blatherwycke) record the family of William Hore (b.1791 at Cliffe, possibly of the Aylesbury Hore/Hoar/Hoare family; cf section 2.2.), a carpenter, and his wife Charlotte whose first child Charlotte was born at Cliffe (1827), but the family had probably moved to villages nearer to Peterborough by 1834 when Gerard Noel Hoare married Sophia Lilias O’Brien at Blatherwycke.

Although 21 Hore/Hoar/Hoare births/christenings from the Great Missenden family had been recorded at Turville from 1778 to 1861 (see section 2.3. above), the last descendants of this family who had been living at South End Farm, South End, Turville in 1871 had migrated 6 km south to Fawley by 1881 when Stafford O’Brien Hoare move to Turville Hall in 1880.

3.4. Other Hore/Hoar/Hoare migrants into the Buckinghamshire Cluster.

The census returns from 1851 reveal that a significant number of Hore/Hoar/Hoare couples/families migrated into the Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Northamptonshire and Warwickshire area. Table 2 show the families which recorded births/christenings within the area, and there were also a roughly equal number of couples/families which settled but did not record any births/christenings.

Two points of interest arise. First, there were relatively many fewer inward migrants into this area (15 families and 50 births) than were found into the Hampshire, Sussex and Wiltshire area (188 families and 377 births; Hoare 2015, table 2). Second, a significant proportion of the incoming couples/families came to Northampton (5), Wellingborough (1) and Peterborough (3), extending northward beyond the range of the local Hore/Hoar/Hoare families.

4. The occupations of the Cuddesdon and Great Missenden Hore/Hoar/Hoare families in the 1800s.

The census returns from 1841 showed that the Cuddesdon and Great Missenden Hore/Hoare/Hoar family members, although a relatively small sample, were generally engaged in very similar types of occupation to those reported for similar family members in Hampshire, Sussex, Wiltshire, Devon and Dorset (Cornwall included much mining).

Among the men, a small proportion were engaged in higher status, non-manual ‘white collar’ occupations generally requiring some education including annuitant, school teacher (3), solicitors clerk, tobacco manufacturer and varnish manufacturer.

The substantial proportion of men were engaged in manual ‘blue collar’ craft or trade occupations involving some skill and responsibility including baker (7), basket maker (4), beer retailer, boatman, boot machinist, boot/shoe maker (6), builder shop keeper, butcher (6), carpenter/joiner (12), chair caner, chair maker, chemist, coach painter, coachman (2), coal dealer (4), cordwainer (2), cork dealer, draughtsman, engine driver (2), engineer (3), French/chair polisher (4), fish dealer (2), fisherman, fruit hawker, general dealer (2), glazier, grocer (5), iron moulder (3), licenced victualler (2), linen weaver, mason (5), miller, motor works, painter (4), plasterer, plate layer, plumber (3), porter, poulterer, printer, postman, railway signalman, servant, slater, tailor and wood carver.

In the agricultural sphere, the higher status occupations included calf/cattle dealer (5), farm bailiff, farmer (3), farmer 11 acres, farmer 149 acres, farmer 177 acres and thatcher. The humbler occupations included agricultural labourer (47), brick layer (12), carrier/carter (5), cattleman (2), foreman, gardener (9), groom, labourer (23), plough boy, sawyer (2) and shepherd (2).

There were none in the disadvantaged and less successful category such as ‘parish relief’.

Among the women, principally younger unmarried women or widows, the higher status occupations included manageress of store, school proprietor (2) and school teacher (5). Other occupations included dressmaker (11), glover (4), housekeeper (6), lace maker (2), miller (2), milliner, needlework (3), nurse (3), shoe machinist and straw plaiter (2). Humbler occupations included cook, domestic servant (8) and laundress (5).

5. Conclusions

These results suggest several points of interest and priority.

(1) The genealogy of the Hore of Greens Norton family. The Hore of Greens Norton family (cf section 2.1 above) includes three H600 Project family branches, B12, K01 and K02 (cf section 1.1 above) of which family branch K01 (the Hoare of Annabella family) provides a clear DNA haplogroup distinct and unrelated in recent times from the DNA haplogroup of the Hore of Axminster family (cf ‘Hoare Genealogy 06’). There is good DNA evidence that the family branches K02 and B12 family groups are closely related to K01. The genealogy linking the K02 family branch (the Hoare’s Bank family) into the Hore of Greens Norton family is nearly complete, but the genealogy linking the B12 family branch (the Orr family of the western USA and Canada) is plausible but unproven. Further work in this area would be valuable.

(2) A common ancestor for the Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire cluster. The Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire cluster of Hore/Hoar/Hoare families resemble the cluster of Hore/Hoar/Hoare family in south Devon in being spaced along main roads in a way that suggests that a recent common ancestor may be possible (cf section 1 above and ‘Hoare Genealogy 04’). DNA results are needed from the other families in this cluster to compare with the DNA haplogroup already established for the Hore of Greens Norton family, and its seems likely that living descendants exist at least from the Cuddesdon and Great Missenden families who may provide the necessary data (cf table 1 above).

(3) The genealogy of the Cuddesdon family. The H600 Project family branches K04 and K08 of Pennsyvania, USA, contain a key ancestor at Wallingford who may be matched to a member of the Hore of Cuddesdon family at the village of Cholsey, 3 km south of Wallingford. No DNA evidence is yet available and genealogy research would be valuable to substantiate this link (cf sections 1.1 and 2.5 above).

6. Appendix (cf section 2.3.): Notes on the family tree of Rev. Toddy Hoare (from an email from Rev. Toddy Hoare to Sir Charles Hoare, 21 January 2016).

My grandfather, Regie, was 13 of 14 born in 1865; the twins painted by Millais (in the Fitz) were his sisters.
Their Father was Thomas Rolls Hoare of Nobles & Hoare paint & varnish, 1816 - 1892. Wendover & Kingston.
His father = John Wesley Hoare 1782 Gt Missenden, whose wife was Ann Rolls1785 -1862.
Then John Hoare 1754 - 1817 Gt Missenden who seems to be the middle of 3 boys who both died young.
Before him Joshua Hoare d 1763 eldest of 7, son of John Hoare 1675 -1749 2nd son of 6 children of Edward, 1630 -1714, in turn 2nd son of Edward born 1604 also of Gt Missenden.
His father also Edward 1566 - 1624 eldest of 8, whose brother Henry married Katherine Lewen, hence Hoares of Little Missenden & Gt Hamden, and Michael who married Mary Barre hence Hoare family of Radnage & Chalfont St Giles.
Their father = Edmond 1545 - 1604 buried at Gt Missenden. Eldest of 4 brothers of whom the youngest, George, seemed to be in St Benet, Fink, d 1612 but his branch continued at Wendover & Gt Missenden.
Thomas, born1516 middle of 3 boys Nicholas & Robert.
Thomas 1490 -1541 buried at Wendover.
