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

Comments: I've long been told by my father, and grandfather that a long time back our family held the title 'the earl of thorne' I would love to be able to verify/validate this. I have quite a detailed (if rather faded) family tree the was previously researched, and goes back to around the 1500's. I wonder if anyone would be interested to look into this and perhaps view my family tree?

Comments: I am trying to contact Valerie Allass. I don't even know if she is still alive. I would be very grateful for any information anyone can give me. My name may probably mean something to her.
