Henry Thornton and John Scott were two of the owners of the bank of Pole, Down, Thornton, Free and Scott (see Royal Bank of Scotland archives), where Pole was my 4th great grandfather Sir Peter Pole. He was married to Cornelius Buller's sister, Anna Guilhermina Buller, and another sister Felizarda Matilda Buller was married to Sir Peter's brother Charles Pole (another Governor of the Bank of England). For more information about Henry Thornton, read "Marianna Thornton" by EM Forster.
Bull's Land farm was owned by another of my ancestors, Richard Taylor (but thats all I know about him).
would be most interested in contacting as I suspect there is much more in common between our ancestors! To contact, suggest you join
