Does anyone have information about Samuel Ernest Thornhill born 1904 Basford he married Barbara Mary Belton(born 1909 Southwell) in 1930 in Bingham. They had 7 children. I think Samuel was commonly known as his middle name. Thanks

Hi there

What type of info are you after 

There is a birth registered for Samuel Ernest Thornhill  Dec Quarter 1904 in the  Basford District of Nottingham, Volume 7b page 229

If you send for his birth cert you will be able to find his parents names and then trace further back    Costs £7.00 (UK) from GRO website

hope this helps

Cheers 
Jan

My name is Holly Harvey , my birthmother was Susan Thornhill but i was brought up by her sister Janet (Harvey) Thornhill, the two girls out of the seven children of Samuel Ernest Thornhill and Barbara Mary Belton of Nottingham.
I am also looking for information about the family since Susan died in 1993 and Janet has alzheimers and cant remember much unfortunately.All info would be great.

Hi Holly,
I have managed to collect quite a bit of information about Samuel Ernest since I first posted on here. Samuel's parents were John Henry Thornhill b.1877 and Beatrice Alberta Searle b.1879.
Barbara Mary's parents were John Charles Belton b.1874 and Ada Beck b. 1877.

I managed to trace both families back through the census records to the early 1800's.
I do not want to bombard you with information so perhaps if you tell me what you already know, or what information you want to know I can help you.

There is an excellent website www.beeston-notts.co.uk which has a lot of information on it. There are even a few photo's of Janet in the school's photo page (Beeston Fields Junior School -  Class of 1948 and Class 4 - 1949). There is also a comprehensive guide to the 2nd Beeston Sea Scouts which contains photo's of some of Janet's brothers.
I hope this helps.
