Thornley - Benjamin & Annie
Hi to all Thornley researchers. I am trying to find more about my Thornley connections in UK. My G-father was Francis Thornley, second son of Benjamin & Annie who resided in 6 Shepley St., Hyde according to the 1881 census. I believe Benjamin was born C1841 Parish of Chisworth, Derby. Annie was born Merioneth, Parish of Corwen, Wales c1839. Children Joseph c1860, Francis 10/2/1865, Benjamin c1870, Louisa c1877 and Annie c1880. Francis immigrated to Australia in 1886 aboard the "Liguria". I understand the other members of the family possibly immigrated to South Africa although that has not been confirmed. I have not been able to locate any other members of Benjamin snr family in UK. Are there others looking for this family? Willing to share information on the Australian connections.
