Sorry for the delay in responding have been away.
Thank you so much Ciderdrinker fills in some gaps for Catherine.
WRT William Thorn's place and date of birth. Supposition: Looking through some of the Old Bailey Court Transcripts for Thorne it appears William was an apple that may not have fallen far from the tree. There are several cases were a William Thorne (perhaps Snr) appears then a gap of approx 15 years which coincides with the birth (if 1763) and William growing up, followed by two other cases later where William Jnr successfully gets off followed by a conviction and transportation.
So for now until I find actual papers/evidence I will go with William Thorn b: 16/12/1763 St Bartholomew the Great, London.
Thanks again, Cheers
