151 JACOBS OF GUATEMALA - NAMING CONVENTION.
The unusual (by British standards) naming convention confused me until it was explained.

In the UK when a Mr Jacobs marries a Miss Jackson the norm is that the family name will remain as Jacobs, or possibly Jackson-Jacobs, and this will remain so for their children.

So their son, Louis would be Louis Jackson-Jacobs.
When he married Isabel Jones the family name would normally remain Jackson-Jacobs, or more rarely, Jones-Jackson-Jacobs.

However it would appear that in Guatemala the convention is different.
Using the same example, the family name would become Jacobs Jackson.
Their son, Louis would be Louis Jacobs-Jackson.

However, when he married Isabel Jones, the Jackson (his mother's maiden name) would be dropped and the family name would become Jacobs-Jones.

And so on..

154 Robert Henry Horn / Robert Mackney
This has long been a puzzle.

I was contact some years ago by Lesley McNair who believed that her ancestor, Robert Mackney, was the same person as the Robert Mackney in my tree.

Over the years it became apparent that they werent the same person, but that there was a connection somewhere along the way.

In February 2021 Lesley contacted me and said that she was convinced that her Robert Mackney was in fact Robert Henry Horn, whose mother had been Elizabeth McNair, the aunt of my Robert Mackney.

This put a different light on things.

Lesley couldnt find Robert Henry Horn after his parents died, and equally she couldnt find Robert Mackney before Robert Horns parents died.

Everything seemed to fit, but proving it was a different matter.

Eventually I managed to find a Liverpool Workhouse record that made the link.
Robert was listed as both Robert Henry Horn, and Mackney, and gave his wife as Mary Alice Mackney. The problem was solved.
 
HORN, Robert Henry (I3229)
 
155 This is the document that confirmed that Robert Henry Horn and Robert Mackney are the same person.
Note that in the next entry he is just down as Robert Henry Horn

Admitted to workhouse - it doesn't say which one.
I suspect he was actually in the hospital area
Entry No. 5420
As Robert Henry Horn or Mackney
Next of kin lists 'wife Mary Alice Mackney - same address'
Also lists an uncle 'James ??? , ??? Wartley, Leeds' - no idea who this is.

160 Cherry Farm Hospital (also known as Hawksbury) was a psychiatric hospital that served the Dunedin area after Seacliff Mental Asylum when it opened in 1952. Cherry Farm Hospital epitomized the village system atmosphere in name and design, contrasting with the harsh conditions and architecture of the fortress-like Seacliff Mental Asylum and the common aspects of the 19th century asylums.
