Title: BERMUDA....looking for Thornes!!
Post by: tjack on Saturday 15 April 17 23:17 BST (UK)

Let's suck it and see!!  I had a favourite uncle as a kid.... Uncle Jim (Jimmy Thorne) often came over from Bermuda to visit our family. He had a direct 'relative' over here who was my Grandmother. Grandma's Maiden name was Mary Thorne....born in Cloughfold (Lancs) 10.12.1885.  She married Grandad (Perry Smith) then lived in a small Cambridgeshire village called FridayBridge from 1917 to 1970.....That's where Uncle Jim so often came to visit us!!

Any offers or leads welcome on Bermuda Thornes. Thanks. tjack

It's worth searching the Bermuda National Library Digital Collection

Hi I know your who your Uncle Jimmy is :)  He's my Dad's cousin, and a Bermudian like my Dad.  They are related to the Thornes who live/d in Clitheroe and Clough Fold.
