We were in Scotland with the motorhome back in 2006 and we stopped close to a
cemetery near Poolewe on the west coast of Scotland and where I noted a headstone in the name of John James Macdonald HORLICK. Knowing this name has connections with Ruardean I took a pic which Admin will put on site and link to this item.
Today I was sorting out files on the computer, came across it and decided to
research. I found this webpage:
http://thepeerage.com/p6175.htm
and he is listed as Sir John James Macdonald Horlick 5th Baronet and tells us that his father was Colonel Sir James Nockells Horlick 4th Baronet. I have confirmed this through searches of BMD Indexes as follows:
Births Jun 1922
Horlick John J Martin Windsor 2c 793
Marriages Mar 1909
HORLICK James Nockells St.Geo.H.Sq 1a 716
MARTIN Flora Cunliffe St.Geo.H.Sq. 1a 716
MARTIN Flora Macdonald C St.Geo.H.Sq. 1a 716
Births Mar 1888
MARTIN Flora Macdonald Cheltenham 6a 436
and I subsequently found James Nockells Horlick in the 1891 Census as follows:
James Horlick abt 1845 Gloster Ruardean Nr Mitcheldene Head Barnes, Surrey
Margaret A Horlick abt 1852 Leicester, Leicestershire, England Wife Barnes, Surrey
Ernest B Horlick abt 1880 Wisconsin, United States Son Barnes, Surrey
Gerald N Horlick abt 1888 Brooklyn N Y, United States Son Barnes, Surrey
James N Horlick abt 1886 Brooklyn N Y, United States Son Barnes, Surrey
Ellen A Burford abt 1821 London, Middlesex, England Mother-in-law Barnes, Surrey
Eller J Burford abt 1854 Leicester, Leicestershire, England Sister-in-law Barnes, Surrey
From this we can see that his father was James Horlick born Ruardean.
This is the family in 1851:

In 1861 James Senior was in Milton, Gravesend, Kent staying with the Reverend William NOCKELLS, Rector of Ifield Kent and in 1871 he is in St James, Westminster as a Chemist Assistant and staying with Gasler Melkin? a Chemist born Holstein, Germany. He married in 1873:
