Is Langford anywhere near the places I mentioned? I need to get the map out!
John Rowe Thorne had some connections in Grenada, as that's where my g grandmother spent a short time as a child. I wonder if there were any other Thornes involved in that journey - may explain why censuses were missed, or other mysteries.
I haven't a clue even how to start research about Grenada records!

Hi! Check out Genuki Somerset. Just had  a quick look and some kind person/s have transcribed some parish records for the area you mention. Geography is not a strong point of mine particularly Somerset as I don't hail from there but I'm sure you'll find a map of some sort on line. Thorne is a very common name in the SW, so you may have difficulty identifying the one you want but having a family name like ROWE inserted could be a clue. Happy hunting. bircham
