Hordern family

The Hordern family is an Australian retailing dynasty.

The Hordern family first came to prominence in Sydney as merchants and retailers with the establishment of Anthony Hordern & Sons, and then gained notability in rural pursuits, stockbreeding, stockbroking, fashion, cricket and parliament. The Hordern name is still seen in Sydney through the naming of the Hordern Pavilion, Hordern Towers within World Square and the Hordern Fountain in memory of Samuel Hordern, in the Sydney suburb of Pyrmont.

The Australian Dictionary of Biography has articles on the following members of the Hordern family:

As wealthy merchants and graziers, members of the extended Hordern family owned and built many important, and now heritage-listed, homes in Sydney and the Southern Highlands of New South Wales. Family homes often carried names such as "Retford" celebrating the Hordern family links to Retford in Nottinghamshire, England, and "Stramshall", the birthplace of Anthony Hordern.

Anthony Hordern senior (1788 – 9 June 1869) married Ann Woodhead (ca.1791 – 18 January 1871) in 1817, migrated to Sydney in 1823, moved to Melbourne in 1839.
