Hornibrook
John Hornibrook and other members of the family are recorded as the owners of c.500 acres in county Cork in the 1870s. He was the principal lessor in the parish of Brinny, barony of East Carbery, at the time of Griffith's Valuation. At the same time William Hornibrook held land in the parish of Dunderrow, barony of East Muskerry. John T. Hornibrook had at least one son, also John, who emigrated to Australia and whose descendents are still resident there. The estate of Thomas Hornibrook, 263 acres at Corran, barony of East Muskerry, was advertised for sale in May 1853. Corran was originally part of the estate bought by Abraham Morris from the Commissioners for the sale of forfeited estates in 1703.
