I'm stuck on finding anything about my great grandfather. The earliest documentation I have is 1911 Census which says he was born in Hanover subject to British parentage and says he was 41 at the time of the Census. I've exhausted every avenue I can other than the chance that his surname changed overtime which apparent was the norm. He signed the Census Max McThorns, but he witnessed my grandparents marriage signing it Henry McThorns. His wife was called Ida and was born in Berlin (also on Census). After he died she started signing her name Thorns. |
