Many Thanks for the information on William and Mary but where is Anna ?

Kenneth & Sydney are not part of the family i am researching.

Bee,
I am also looking for a Alfred William Thornhill s/o William & Anna.
Alfred was b 1887 Geenhills.
I sent for his birth cert and after  searching for 20 years NZ BMD could not find any record for him.
I know he was alive when my late Husband was born in 1951. ( As his daughter did not want her parents to know she had given birth or even had a child )
Alfred's wife Annie died in 1975 and was a Widow.

Any help will be most appreciated

This is from the Death notice,

THORNHILL Annie Elizabeth on 8th January 1975 at 24 Talbot Street, Richmond. Wife of the late Alfred William Thornhill

I haven't put  the rest in as 2 of her children are still alive.

As my husband was adopted they are reluctant to give me any information.

I have all her information from the Funeral Directors but they did not have any info on her Husband except;

 Marriage and Family Details
Order    Spouses first names        Surname        Age Married   Place Married   
   1         Alfred William                  Thornhill            27              Invercargill
Country     New Zealand

Carol, I'm interested in the family of Francis Thornhill (born c1837) watchmaker of Shelton, Staffs.  His father John was born in County Cork c1798.  My Elizabeth Thornhill (C1800 to 1846) lived and died in County Cork, but I can't find her birth.  It is POSSIBLE that John is her brother.  I know that you were interested in Francis at one time.  Have you learnt more?  I can follow Francis' siblings (Henry and Hannah) through several censuses but after 1881 Francis and most of his family disappear.  Did they return to New Zealand, do you know?

Frances Thornhill dies between 1881 and 1891, have not checked this. Eliza can be found in the 1891 census, a widow living at 19 Commcerial? Road, Stoke upon Trent with children Edward 19, Renard, should read Denard aged 17 and daughter Lizzie Gadd now 26 and her husband John Gadd.    Francis named his son Dennard after Hannah's first son from her marriage to Francis Defoe.

Eliza disappears, she possibly dies, have not followed this either, but Edward, Lizzie and Dennard can be following into subsequent census docs.
regards, Palmeri.
