Parish Registers in Swithland - THORNTON
« on: Wednesday 30 April 08 21:48 BST (UK) »
Would appreciate a look-up in the parish registers for Swithland for some baptisms of children of Joseph Thornton and a wife Mary
Thomas abt 1812, James abt 1815, Jane abt 1817, not sure if there are any others

Joseph was listed as a labourer on Jane's marriage in 1855
I know nothing more of Joseph and Mary, no marriage, deaths or anything

There is also a Harriet Jane born 13 Apr 1819 to a Joseph and Mary but she was not baptised until 1838 and is definitely not the same person as the Jane - is she another sibling or are there two Joseph/Mary couples?
I have been told that Harriet Jane is age 20 in 1841 in St Margaret Leicester living with a Mary age 60 born out of county but I do not have all the details
Not sure where Jane is but she's in Loughborough in 1851
Thomas is married by 1841 and in Hoton with an Elizabeth
James also married an Elizabeth about 1839

There is also a Lydia Thornton who was a witness at Jane's wedding who could be a possible relative

Any help would be much appeciated
Thanks SC

My husband's gtgrandfather was Thomas Thornton, b Swithland 1812, married Elizabeth Stevenson and lived in Hoton, until he died 1889.
How did you establish the parents as Joseph and Mary? We haven't been able to identify them.  Would love to exchange info with you.

Jane Thornton was christened on 25 Dec 1817, daughter of Joseph and Mary.  Father's occupation - labourer.  No sign of Thomas and James, unfortunately.

Hi Thelma

I had forgotten about this thread, its a while since I put it on there
I will need to look at what new info I have found on this family since then as some of this may not be correct

By License
Henry Thornton   of Cropston  Bach      
Sarah Cooper   OTP   Wid

All the best

Certainly worth making a note of as a possible connection

Thanks, SC
