Cooper Thornhill of Stilton
« on: Tuesday 16 December 08 00:57 GMT (UK) »
Am looking for information on the family of Cooper Thornhill who was born in 1705, baptised 16 April 1710 in Leake, Lincolnshire.  He married a woman called Mary in Leake in 1730 and they went to live in Stilton, Huntingdonshire.  How would I find out what Mary's maiden name was?  Thanks.  Kirwan.

Welcome to Rootschat!

Finding the marriage entry in Leake parish register, if you're sure that's where they married, will give you her maiden name
