Question:

Does anyone have the surname "Horry"?

I am trying to trace my great grandma's family, who had the surname Horry.
They where from Spilsby in Lincolnshire, I would love to trace this family and find relatives today, we know so
little about this side of the family


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: You may be connected to a famous 19th century murderer. William Frederick Horry was the landlord of a hotel in Burslem, north Staffordshire who murdered his wife at Boston, Lincs in January 1872. He was hanged at Lincoln in April. I don't know whether it was him or his wife who had the Lincs connection. If it was the wife she would only be a Horry by marriage.
