I am trying to find ANY little bit of info about my Aunt,Doris Thornley born 1906,Fathers name...John Andrew Thornley,born 1879, Mothers name...Matilda Denton born about 1880. Doris had a Daughter Ann married to Eric Ridge.
Sorry,but thats all I have,any help would really be appreciated.
Thanks for your time,Bill Thomason.
SORRY ABOUT THAT,IT`S AN AGE THING !
Thanks.
There was another birth registration in Prestwich district in September 1918 of a Josiah Thornley who had a mother with the maiden name of Denton, who could be a brother. Again there are a number of marriages for Doris Thornley around Manchester but only two were in the Ashton under Lyne district which is where Hyde is situated. These were in March 1919 where the bridegrooms name was Harry Holt, although your Doris was probably too young for that and another in September 1945, 8d, 1732, with a bridegroom Roy Notman, but this time she would have been rather old. She could have married outside the district, however I cannot see any children born to the latter couple, which would probably be the case should she have been that bride.
I can only suggest that you purchase a copy of the latter marriage certificate,which will tell you if it is the correct person from the father's name.
Take care,Bill Thomason.
