Hi there
What type of info are you after :o
There is a birth registered for Samuel Ernest Thornhill Dec Quarter 1904 in the Basford District of Nottingham, Volume 7b page 229
If you send for his birth cert you will be able to find his parents names and then trace further back :D Costs £7.00 (UK) from GRO website
hope this helps
Cheers :-*

My name is Holly Harvey , my birthmother was Susan Thornhill but i was brought up by her sister Janet (Harvey) Thornhill, the two girls out of the seven children of Samuel Ernest Thornhill and Barbara Mary Belton of Nottingham.
I am also looking for information about the family since Susan died in 1993 and Janet has alzheimers and cant remember much unfortunately.All info would be great.

Hi Holly,
I have managed to collect quite a bit of information about Samuel Ernest since I first posted on here. Samuel's parents were John Henry Thornhill b.1877 and Beatrice Alberta Searle b.1879.
Barbara Mary's parents were John Charles Belton b.1874 and Ada Beck b. 1877.
I managed to trace both families back through the census records to the early 1800's.
I do not want to bombard you with information so perhaps if you tell me what you already know, or what information you want to know I can help you.
There is an excellent website www.beeston-notts.co.uk which has a lot of information on it. There are even a few photo's of Janet in the school's photo page (Beeston Fields Junior School - Class of 1948 and Class 4 - 1949). There is also a comprehensive guide to the 2nd Beeston Sea Scouts which contains photo's of some of Janet's brothers.
I hope this helps.
