I am trying to find records in Thornhill, England for CARDWELL. In particular, I am looking for details about Robert Cardwell born on or before 1762 in Thornhill, son of William Cardwell (1737) / Mary of Hostingly, son of John Cardwell (1709) and Martha Wainwright (1706).
There is a dispute over what happened to Robert Cardwell. Did he stay in England (have a family), or did he leave and come to Campbell County, Virginia? I would like to confirm his birth in or near Thornhill and parents and siblings, but then determine if there is any death or other burial records, or other records of Robert and/or his father, siblings, etc. to piece together his final resting place and descendants.
There is confusion over whether Robert Cardwell (and other Cardwells) first immigrated Thornhill to East Tyrone, Ireland before immigrating to Virginia, or directly to America, or was there two Robert Cardwells. Is there any history in Thornhills of having relatives, or passage, or immigration to Ireland.

Hi
The parish registers for Thornhill are online at archive.org. If you search for Thornhill registers, there are three - volume 30, volume 40 and volume 53.
If you click on 'read online' at the right hand side you can do a search. There are lots of Cardwell's but I didn't find a Robert.
Let me know if my instructions aren't very clear!

Sorry for a very delayed response. William and Mary are my ancestors and I have their children in my tree but can’t find a Robert born to them
