HI Carol,

With regard to Johnson Thornhill, his burial is recorded in the Dunedin Southern Cemetery as having died 29 Nov 1871 at the age of 50yrs.  He is described as a miner and a native of Ireland.

Another Thornhill, George is also listed as having died on 23 Jul 1867, but he is described as a native of England.

George is not one of mine.
