Hi All, I'm very lucky to be the current keeper of my grnadfather's cash book. He was called John Henry Ayton and lived in the Consett/Shotley Bridge area for most of his adult life. He kept a cash book detailing all of his expenses from 1922 until 1935. It is very interesting reading and you get a real flavour of the family from what they spent as well as finding out what everyday things cost. However an entry has me wondering as in April 1927 Grandad paid 6s 6d for a History of Thornley. I'm presuming that this is a book and wondered if anyone knows anything about it??? The Ayton family lived in Thornley village--Thornley near Tow Law that is-- in the 1800s so I would see the interest that Grandad would have in the village. Obviously I too would like to see this publication if it so exists. Any help would be appreciated yours John Ayton _________________________________________________________________ 25GB of FREE Online Storage – Find out more http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/134665320/direct/01/
