G'day All,

The pronunciation here in Australia, across the 'really big pond', has
always been Harts-horn, pronounced more like Harts'orn with an almost
silent second 'h'.

When you see the name Hartshorn written hand written in old records, it
is easy to see why it can be incorrectly transcribed (or indexed) as
Hawthorn.
