    Thumbs up thornton family

    Could anyone please assist with the following family.

    Thomas Thornton born about 1814 possibly at Llanbedr Painscastle
    his wife, Catherine (probably Williams) born abt 1821
    son William born abt 1845
    son Edwin (Ted) born 1847
    son Samuel born 1854
    son Charles born 1857
    They were probably still in Radnorshire for the 1851 and 1861 census, but were down in Rassau, Breconshire by 1863.
    Marriage detaisl would also be great if possible. Again, most likely in Radnorshire.
    Thanks, Roy

    The births of the THORNTON children are listed on www.freebmd.org.uk They were in Hay registration district.
    The baptisms of Edwin & Margaret THORNTON are listed on the IGI on www.familysearch.org
    Catherine WILLIAMS married in June Q 1840, Hay, vol 26, page 549. On the same page is Thomas THORTON.

    1841 census HO107/1456 f7 p9, Penllair, Llanbedr Painscastle, Radnorshire
    Thomas Thorton, 35, Ag lab, N
    Cathrine Thorton, 20, Y
    [ages 15+ should have been rounded down to nearest 5 years, but they weren't by this enumerator; N = not born in county, Y = born in county]
    At the same address, but a separate family unit, Daniel Williams 54 + Mary Williams 55; also James Evans 8, Mary Morgan 5.
