	Well I think that just about sums it up. Whoever said she was an Eva Horn has it all wrong in my eyes. There are a couple of trees on Ancestry and they have all sorts of misinfo on them. Some hav'nt even got her parents right.

	Thanks all for the responses... It is a possiblilty she never married... Esther Ellingworth is mentioned in Richard's brother William's Will along with Mary, but Eva not mentioned - which is odd Information from Lord Guisborough keeps a record of Challoner info, which mentions Eva Horn a US citizen, other family members have mention it too - unless it is heresay? I will obtain Richard's will, which might shed some light - thank you Gins

	I am trying to find out where Florence Eva Annie Challoner went to. According to information provided to me known as Eva Horn and US citizen. Still in Leicester, England 1911 with parents Richard Cheatle and Emily Challoner. Found a marriage to a John Thorp in 1912 which is possible, but no marriage to a Horn? Any advice or anyone with information... I would love to hear from you Debbie
