Thorne's of St German Saltash

[Eska]

Hello, I am currently researching my Great Grandparents Charles William Thorne (Fleet Engineer) and Alice Ann Elizabeth Garner who lived in Saltash Cornwall around 1897-ish. I am having trouble finding out anything about them for some reason, can anyone help me out? Thank you.

Hi

Can you give us some details of any of their children please - names/birthyears/birthplaces etc

Were they married by 1897

[CaroleW]

Is this the correct birth for Alice

Births March qtr 1869   
Alice Ann E    Garner    Portsea    2b   484

there are 2 baptisms to the couple transcribed on this site, one in 1900, one in 1901

http://www.cornwall-opc-database.org/search-database/person-search/

and there's an address in Saltash given on the records. So the couple should be in Beech Terrace for the 1901 census.

[CaroleW]

So this must be the 1901 entry

Charles W Thorne 52 fleet engineer Royal Navy b Alverstoke Hants
Alice A  32 b Southsea Hants
Leslie V 8 Months b Cornwall Saltash
RG13 Piece 2190 Folio 18 Page 28

My grandfather was Beresford Cazenove Thorne born 1901 -1988 he married Emma Brown, 2 children Anthony and Patricia and his elder brother was Leslie Vivian Thorne 1900-1942 he is buried in Egypt and married to Amy cousins, they also had 2 children June and Patricia. The problem I am having is finding out if Alice was married to Charles as it appears he was married to another lady called Catherine before and also some records say that charles may have been dead before my grandfather was born. Also there is a reference to Beresford Cazenove Scott on some other sites.

There is a 1911 entry for the family in Saltash which includes Charles.  Rootschat does not allow us to publish 1911 details due to copyright restrictions so you will need to look it up

If you have not already done so you might like to purchase CW Thorne's service record, but if nothing else it does provide a date of birth:
