THORNE family in Newfoundland

TrisheMillerWillis — 2009-11-02 19:58:30Z

I am trying to put together the various Thorne family members from Torbay, Newfoundland. While I have gathered a lot of information, I am unsure of who belongs to who! Anyone researching the Thorne family who can help in any way, please do. Maybe I have something to give back.

Thorne families from New Brunswick

xxxtopazxxx — 2009-10-26 04:49:50Z

I was born August 16,1964 in Hamilton Ontario. My birth name was Karen Beth Thorne. My mother came to Hamilton from New Brunswick when she was 5 months pregnant, after an affair, to hide her pregnancy bringing with her a 2 yr old daughter she had at the time. The information I have indicates she left behind a husband as well as at least 2-3 other children. Looking for any information on mother, or siblings, family history.

Hello Ed,

Thanks for your speedy reply.

Regretably, we can't help each other further, because my James Thorne was in England in late 1859, when he went to NZ and married in 1860. Then he went to NSW Australia and had lots of children and a further 2 wives, before dying in 1888 in NSW.

It was his death certificate that said he was born in Canada, abt 1835, and his father's name was Charles Thorne.

Sorry I can't help further

Hey, welcome to the club, my gggrandfather James Thorne was from close by Random Island and I've had no luck finding him in any census. Maybe we might be connected somehow.

Re: James Thorne, b C1835

EdThorne1 — 2009-09-27 18:49:15Z

Sorry, he's not listed because I have no birth or death date for him, the password for viewing all of the names is Mustang, this should provide you with a few more names. I have very little info on James so anything is possible.

Re: James Thorne, b C1835

julianlovegrove — 2009-09-27 18:20:15Z

Hello Ed,

Thanks for your reply. I have looked at the link you suggested, but although it says there are 90 Thorne surnames, only 24 are listed, and there are no James Thorne's shown.

I know mine was born in Canada abt 1835, and was a 'shipowner' and I have his history from being in the UK in 1859 until his death in Sydney Australia.

So if yours 'dissappeared' in the 1850's I would like to know more please!

Thelma,

Sorry to say, your Uncle Art can not be the Arthur Thorne I am looking for. I am trying to help a friend find info on her family. This Arthur Ward Thorne was supposed to have been born in Pennsylvania about 1897. He put our friend up for adoption while they lived Akron, Ohio, in April 1935.

Some people moved back and forth across the US and Canadian borders about as often as they visited their neighbors!

jodymcswain — 2009-09-24 17:50:24Z

Hi Thelma. No, there's no need for you to go prodding others for additional information, but thanks for the offer. I was just curious to know that if the background on my maternal side (Barbara Ann Thorne) was being referenced to (indirectly) through that link I sent in my previous posting. Just to bring you up to date, I did have opportunity to speak with Barbara on the phone a few years ago and while we haven't done the DNA testing to officially confirm anything, all of the other pieces of information we shared strongly suggest that she is indeed my biological mother. Thanks for your assistance!

Re: Barbara Thorne

JAY1025 — 2009-09-24 03:38:34Z

Hi Jody - Sorry for the delay in replying to your query (I don't open the mail every day :-)) My father did not have a have a brother named Murray or Earl - Gordon, Gilbert, Arthur, Edward, Alexander, Albert, and George. I have no personal contact with Gordon and Grace's childern, however, I will speak with my brother and see if he remembers anything. Would you like me to send you a personal e-mail if I find anything out?

Hello again Elizabeth (Grace?). It's been a long time since our last dialogue and my phone conversations with Barbara. I've recently been trying to do more research on my family tree. I'm wondering if Barbara remembers what the last name was of my biological father? Would you be comfortable in asking her this or would she be troubled by this question? I'm certainly not wanting to cause her any grief so just let me know what you think. Thanks. :)

Re: Barbara Thorne

jodymcswain — 2009-09-09 15:51:49Z

Hello again Thelma (if you ever do read this reply since it's been years since my original post). Do you know off-hand if Gordon Thorne had brothers named Earl and Murray? I mention that because of what I read on the following link (search "Gordon Thorne" and you'll find a reference to the brothers' names I am referencing. Thanks! :)

Thorn b-1807 d-1877 & is buried at Lincoln Cemetery, Milton Twp, Jackson Co, OH. I descend from John's oldest brother William Jr. So come & join us, we have a nice network of Thorn Family Contacts from Jackson Co. That goes back to 1718ish in Prince William Co, VA.

Re: Robert Carter Thorne of New Mexico

JacobThorn — 2009-07-13 17:42:02Z

Hello once again. I am not sure that we connected, way back in 2001. Robert Carter Thorn/e's father was William Thorn, Robert's oldest brother William Jr is my 3d great grandfather. We have a network of researchers that you can draw from & hook you up to R. C.'s descendants. He had a son Robert Pearl Thorne that stayed in Wellston. I just found Robt. P's son, Robt. C's grandson, Otis Thorne, killed in Columbus in 1932. Check in wit us when you get a chance.

Otis O. Thorne, Died in Columbus, Ohio 1932

JacobThorn — 2009-07-13 17:32:42Z

I have found the death certificate for Otis O. Thorne who died April 1, 1932, as a Sgt. stationed at Fort Hayes in Columbus, Franklin Co, OH. His wife is listed as Katherine Thorne. Otis was a grandson of Robert Carter Thorn who was raised in Jackson Co, Ohio, moved to Sothern Iowa & wound up in Montague Co, TX. So Otis's father Robert Pearl Thorne, stayed in Jackson Co, Ohio. If anyone has any news or is researching this branch of my Thorn Family. Please contact me.

Thorne in Weston Zoyland, Somerset

nathanflood — 2009-03-01 15:48:47Z

I have a Rebecca Thorne in my tree (my GGGG Grandmother) born circa 1815 in Weston Zoyland, Somerset. I have been unable to find a baptism record for her but do know that her widowed mother was living with her in 1861. This 1861 census states that her mother is Elizabeth Thorne (widow), born circa 1791 in Stowey, Somerset. She is listed as a late Mason's wife in the census. Having worked my way back through earlier census I have found Elizabeth in 1841 living with husband George Thorne born circa 1781 in Somerset - he is listed as a Mason.

This is where I get stuck! Does anyone have any connection to the Thorne's in either Stowey or Weston Zoyland? Any info would be appreciated.

Thank you. I had found his draft card and actually have a copy of it. I was disappointed that it didn't list his height and weight. It just says "tall". He was probably about 6' 2". I also found a copy of his draft card when he fought in World War II when he was 53. I have never found a copy of his marriage certificate.

Richard Thorne, Thornlea, Nfld

kpiercey134 — 2009-03-12 00:06:20Z

I am a descendant of Richard Thorne, Born about 1820. He was married to Elizabeth Barrett and was one of the first settlers of Thornlea, Nfld. The Thorne history of Thornlea is fairly well documented but Richard's origins are not. There are Thornes in the nearby communities of New Harbour and Normans Cove but there is no documentation supporting residents of one community migrating to the other. There are some suspicions that he may have moved through Winterton and possibly born in Europe.

Any info would be appreciated.

Jake,
The Robert Pearl Thorne that was from Wellston is the son of Robert Carter Thorn(e) -son of John G Thorn of Wellston. There were lots of Robert Carter Thorn's . Get's confusing.
The Robert Carter Thorn born in 1819 had a son Robert Carter that was last recorded in Texas in the 1880's. He probably died young in St Jo Texas.

I don't think that the DNA companies are doing any testing for genealogy execpt swab samples at this time. You as a Thorne can test and compare to other Thorn(e) males with a swabbing of the cheek.
The hair lockets are very interesting. What was the dominate color ?

I have been corresponding with a Thorne relative in the UK who is doing a great job of researching our line of Thornes. According to his findings, our Thornes were from Sherbourne. However, I do have a copy of a banknote from Sherborne Bank, Dorsetshire with no date on it. My mother was Janet Katherine Thorne of Thornhill, Ontario, Canada, granddaughter of Benjamin for whom Thornhill was named.

It would appear John THORN (THORNE) made two census report's he again appears in the 1900 Federal Census with his wife Mary M. b. Sept 1868 OH. and children Mary M. THORN b. May 1889 CA., George I. THORN b. 1891 CA.. Ida R. THORN b. Sept 1893 CA., and Alice B. THORN Sept. 1895 CA. However in this census
John was b. Dec in '1854' and immigrated to the US in 1869.
They were living in Shasta Township, Shasta, California.

Re: Looking for Thornes descended from Trinity Co Thorne/Zent Family

TheTimeAngel — 2009-02-22 05:55:56Z

According to the 1900 Census.
John THORNE b. Dec. 1853 England came to the US in 1876, He was married in abt 1888, he was a miner living with Isaac ZENT b. Oct 1837 OH. in Lewiston and Minersville Townships, Trinity, California in the 1900 census.
I suppose Isaac could have been father in law?
