I am helping my cousin researching her family. Perhaps someone can help please.
John Thorne married Marston Bigott 16.5.1825- he is a widower to Mary Bishop, spinster. John & Mary had 2 children Baptised at St John's Frome Amelia 8.7.1826 add Lower Market Pl.occ spinner & John 23.2.1828 add Pilly Vale occ Dye houseman.
There is a death on Ancestry - Burial for a John Thorne 5.9.1830 St John Frome aged 56 yrs - this would make John born about 1774.
Who are John's parents & who did he marry first marriage?
Mary Thorn (nee Bishop) 2nd marriage 26.12.1830 Marston Bigott to John Carter
1841 census Batcox? Frome.
John Carter 30 Cloth weaver, Mary 35, Hannah 10, Samuel 8, Sarah 6, William 1, Elizabeth Osborne 78 Ind. yes (is she connected to family?) John Thorne 14 y.
Immigration to Nelson NZ 'Bombay' 14.12.1842

There is this death in Frome reg district prior to 1851 but age at death is well out.  I see she was of Independent means in 1841

OSBORNE, ELIZABETH       age 71 
GRO Reference: 1849  March Quarter in FROME  Volume 10  Page 293
.........

If she was married in Frome then maybe this one  :-\
24 Dec 1814 - Daniel Osborne to Elizabeth Gerrett

Daniel Osborne was buried 28 Feb 1836 - age 70 abode Wine Street, Frome.
There are possible service records for him on FindMyPast 1784- 1812, he was in the Dragoon Guards
