Comments: I'm doing family research and have come across a record in the 1939 register that says my sister Mary Hudson was a student. It gave residence address as 57 Queens Crescent Thorne. I have no family member to ask about this, and it's something new to me. She would have been 12 years old, and the family lived in Hull at that time. I've googled the address but it hasn't come up with anything. I'd like to know if this was a private residence or business [lease. I know it's a long shot but any info would be gratefully received. Thank you Alan Hudson

Comments: Hello I am researching The Edgell family and believe that John J Edgell was a farm bailiff at ( Horr Ryde Farm) in the 1881 census. Could this be: Ridge farm in Thorne?
I welcome your input.. Thank-you

Comments: Hi am researching my family history. I was b0rn in Moorends and lived in Thotne on King Edward Road and Mansion Court Gardens untill I was about 9. My paternal grandparents lived on Durham avenue and my father and his 4 brothers were born there and attended Thorne Grammar. My grandmother lived there until her death in 1998 aged 104. I am trying to find out where my grandfather and my uncle are buried as they died in Thorne in 1927 and 1942. Would they have been buried in Thorne Cemetary? if so can anyone tell me how I can get a copy of the plan of the graveyard with the plot numbers. Thanks
