Hello to you all. I am very interested in any BREAKELL or THORNBER names you might find from around the 1800 time period. Especially a John BREAKELL and his wife Ann. They were my GGGgrandparents. John was born in 1801 in Cuerden Lancashire. Ann was listed as born in 1800 or earlier in Inskip. Their daughter Ann BREAKELL (formerly Muir) B1820, married a George Thornber in 1845. Both were listed as widowers. George was B1813 in Preston. They were my gggrandparents. The BREAKELL'S were in the business of building boats in the Preston area. I do have a list of their children if this is of any help. I have yet to find out who George THORNBER'S parents were or who he was married to before Ann. My thanks for any help you might be able to give me. All my best Mike Morris Toronto Canada -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
