Thorntons in Kilkenny
I'm looking for any Thorntons in Co. Kilkenny.
I'm descended from James Thornton (1778-1855) and his wife Mary - nee? (1780-1865).
They, and six children, were born in Kilkenny and immigrated to Perth, Ontario, Canada in 1825.
They were Protestant and James' occupation is listed as weaver.
I'd like to trace James' family back in Ireland and perhaps find some relatives currently living there.
