1892 map of Hall Garth Lockington - 89kB jpg

By 1871 Caleb had left home to work at Hall Garth, Lockington, a farm midway between and west of the Beverley and Driffield road.

The house with 1685 carved datestone over door has 18th century extensions to rear. The two storey building is of red brick with a plain tile roof and 16-pane sashes with sills and wedge lintels.

The immediate grounds contain an earthwork and buried remains of a medieval motte, and bailey castle, circa 1120, medieval moated site and fishponds. It is located 500m south of the village of Lockington. The castle was probably abandoned in the late 13th to 14th centuries when a new hall was erected on the castle bailey. The moated site was probably abandoned by the 17th century when the current Hall Garth was built in 1685. The motte has been known as Coney Hills since at least the mid 19th century.

The reason Caleb appears in this Hornsey household appears to be explained by:

The 1851 census shows Richard HORNSEY, the son of William (born about 1799) and Catherine HORNSEY (born about 1799) of Newbald, farmed 67 acres employing two people in Hornsea Burton. (Ref: HO107 Piece: 2365; Folio: 256; Page: 24; Sched: 115)
Their son, Richard HORNSEY (born 1826) and Ann HOPPER married in the first quarter of 1854. (GRO ref: Skirlaugh 9d 347)
In the 1861 census Richard (36) of Newbald and Ann HORNSEY (33), of Bolton by Fangfoss, farmed the 96 acres Trinity House Farm, Hornsea and employed six men. (Ref: RG9 Piece: 3604; Folio: 55; Page: 23; Sched:)
Their son, Richard Jnr. was born in the quarter of 1860 (GRO ref: Skirlaugh 9d 347)
Richard HORNSEY Snr. died in the quarter of 1860 (GRO ref: Skirlaugh 9d 347)

In the first quarter of 1897 Caleb married Edith Louisa MAWER. (GRO Ref: Sculcoates 9d 274 ). Edith was born in the fourth quarter of 1876 (GRO ref: Boston 7a 425). Caleb had returned to Brigham, where his brother Richard had farmed, and to his own farm.

Their children were:

Ivy Victoria HORNSEY was born in February 1897 (GRO ref: Sculcoates 9d 233). There is no obvious record of Ivy's marriage or death.
Kate Violet HORNSEY was born in September 1900 (GRO ref: Driffield 9d 327). In the second quarter of 1921 she married Thomas BROWN (GRO ref: Driffield 9d 701). Kate died in the second quarter of 1931 (GRO ref: Sculcoates 9d 143).

Eliza KEIGHTLEY was Edith MAWER/HORNSEY's grandmother with whom she lived at the time of the 1881 census. (RG11 Piece: 3218; Folio: 13; Page: 19; Schedule: 92). In 1881 Eliza was recorded as 'deaf'.

Above: 1911 map of Brigham at 1:10560 showing the presumed homes of Caleb Hornsey in 1901 (red) and 1911 (yellow). This assumption is made because, in 1901 schedule 1 was Fordingham Bridge (off the map south-east along the road in the top right hand corner) and Caleb lived in schedule 2 in Brigham Lane. In 1911 it appears that the enumerator first recorded the homes on the southern side of the road, before turning at Elm Farm, schedule 68.
