I am having problems with this branch of the family, who seem to have led complicated lives, and are difficult to trace in census/BMD records. Rebecca THORLEY was born around 1841, Palterton, and I have first found her in the 1861 census, as a servant in the home of John Jarvis. In 1866 she married James Chilton, and her father's name is given as Timothy. I have now found on FamilySearch a marriage between Timothy Thorley and Ann Gregory, in Scarcliffe, 24 Nov 1830. They appear to have had several children (Ellen, bapt 1831, Scarcliffe; William born around 1840, Palterton, and probably others born in Palterton). But I cannot find any trace of Timothy and Ann Thorley in any census, or any record of their deaths. I have found Rebecca and William from 1861 onwards, but not before. I would be very grateful for any help in tracing this family.
Many thanks

I wonder if they are the 1841 entry transcribed as Shawley living in Scarcliff? The image is so faded I'm amazed anything could be transcribed from it

Many thanks for these speedy responses. I tried lots of variants (Thornley, etc.), but never came up with this one. I will get to work on this lead.
Thanks again
