Emma Thornett b 1839 Wimbledon, Surrey England
Looking for more information on Emma Thornett, her parents and siblings. Emma born April 15, 1839 in ENgland. She married Jonadab Finch in 1865. They had 11 children. Family moved to USA in 1892. I have information to share on the 11 children.
Based upon her marriage license Oct 7, 1865, her father was Joseph Thornett, a dairy farmer. The marriage was witnessed by Charles Thornett and Mary Ann Thornett. With this information I found a very likely match for her parents and siblings.
Parents : Joseph Thornett and Amy Mitchell - married 7, Oct 1826 in Beckenham, Kent, England

On her death certificate her son listed her parents as William Thornett and Amy Claydon. It is possible that her father was William Joseph Thornett or Joseph WIlliam Thornet and was called by his middle name. As far as his wife, it is possible that her maiden name was Claydon as several children or grandchildren have Claydon as a middle name. I am looking at the possibility that Amy Mitchell was a widow when she married Joseph THornett and her maiden name was Claydon. Another possibility is that Claydon was her middle name and was the maiden name of Amy'smother.
I would like to here from anyone who might be related to one of Emma's siblings. I do have pictures of her parents and a picture of her oldest sister - who may have been called "Lizzie".
