My apologies for not responding sooner to your posts. I am only now getting the time to digest the information you have provided. All very much appreciated.
This correspondence addressed to Major Thornton came onto the market in the mid 1990`s. It contained approximately 160 envelopes all with pen & ink illustrations from 1864 - 1886. Some of them were addressed to Maj. Thornton at Victoria Park Dover 1870 -1871.
I was looking through my file and found a note i made about a Clementina Thornton of Chobham Lodge, Park Hill Rise, Croydon in the 1881 census. She was aged 60 and not married. I suppose this lady might be another source for this correspondence.
