Galway / Thornton in Galway (Catherine and Family) 1800-1843
« on: Friday 02 February 18 22:10 GMT (UK) »
Looking for the Thornton family mother Catherine, children Mary, Michael and Edward (Ethrain) 1800 - 1842.
Mary Thornton convict was sent to Tasmania 1843 aged 25 Native place Galway so born about 1818.
Her convict papers say Mother Catherine, two brothers Michael and Ethrain? soldiers (I can't make out the next part) has been dead 6 years 3 years on the street.
In the WO records I can only find
Edward Thornton born Galway served in 30th Foot Regiment, 80th Foot Regiment, 31st Foot discharged age 41 so this would make him born about 1807
Michael Thornton born Galway Served 36 Foot Reg. discharged age 39 1833-1854 so this would make him born about 1815
So I believe Ethrain is Edward.
Thanks in advance
