Cork / Re: Thornhill Family Of Cork
« on: Wednesday 09 October 19 20:33 BST (UK) »
I am new to this forum and not sure how to proceed. I was born in Kildorrery County Cork and have researched the Thornhill family from there. I note that William2912 (Bill) from Brisbane has been looking for information which I am happy to share.

I believe he is correct about the Yorkshire connection, it is a long story, via Derbyshire.
Bill's great-great grandfather's father was William Thornhill (1818-1885). He married Mary Anne Daly in 1842. The family went to Australia in 1863, with 3 sons and 2 daughters. There was sickness on board and the girls died at sea.
William's father was St. John Thornhill (1797-1873, my g-g grandfather). His mother was Elizabeth Courtney from Ballyhea in North Cork.
