Title: Thorpe
Post by: tricia1 on Wednesday 20 June 07 19:56 BST (UK)

Has anyone ever come across James Thorpe who was born c. 1838 married Jane Wilson in 1859.  He gave his birthpalce as Heanor, Derby.  His father was John Thorpe who was said to be a butcher.

On the 1881 census James gave his occupation as a Musician.

Would be grateful for any help

Looks like John had children with Emma but didnt marry her  ,Ancestry has the  surnames as Gittel?But not sure of this .James must have later taken his Fathers surname.

Thank you for taking so much trouble in finding out the information for me. After ages trying to find out about this family you find them using different names!

Many thanks
