Member Since: February 2004 Posts: 28 Send Message	Hi, I am trying to find info on George Thornton, born circa 1860 in Malvern, Worcestershire. Believe his wife's name was Sarah and they had 2 sons, William and George and four daughters Lily, Edith, Winifred and Violet. My mum's 84 now and trying to find where she came from as her father was bought up in an orphanage
