Have you got the family in 1861 census - just wondering if a second marriage for either of them?

Julie Report 19 Jun 2011 21:50

My husband's G. Grandparents were James Kelly and Annie Thornley. Her parents were Benjamin Thornley (on census as 1841 Chisworth) and Annie Jones 1839 Corwen, Wales. I am having great trouble taking this further. Cannot find a Benjamin Thornley born 1841 in Chisworth and can't seem to find their marriage either. Oldest child appears to be Joseph 1860.
