190 years ago today

My 3x great grandparents, John Thornton and Margery Hall, were married 17 May 1822 at Hartburn in Northumberland. John and Margery had 8 children. Their second youngest was my great great grandfather Randle Thornton.

My Thornton line

I have now begun to develop the Thornton page under My Family. The first Thornton in my pedigree is Margaret Jane Thornton born in 1871 in Choppington, Northumberland. I have traced the family further back to Newburn and Hartburn. Margaret Jane Thornton is my matrilineal great grandmother.
