I am having problems with this branch of the family, who seem to have led complicated lives, and are difficult to trace in census/BMD records. Rebecca THORLEY was born around 1841, Palterton, and I have first found her in the 1861 census, as a servant in the home of John Jarvis. In 1866 she married James Chilton, and her father's name is given as Timothy. I have now found on FamilySearch a marriage between Timothy Thorley and Ann Gregory, in Scarcliffe, 24 Nov 1830. They appear to have had several children (Ellen, bapt 1831, Scarcliffe; William born around 1840, Palterton, and probably others born in Palterton). But I cannot find any trace of Timothy and Ann Thorley in any census, or any record of their deaths. I have found Rebecca and William from 1861 onwards, but not before. I would be very grateful for any help in tracing this family.
Many thanks
