At one time (1855) Thornbank was in Stoneykirk Parish, as was Thorn House. Lochans village was in 3 parishes, Stoneykirk, Inch and Portpatrick. This family are the same Henry family who were well known in Glenluce village as photographers and drapers etc. Diana > In Thorn Bank, Inch, WIG, this HENRY family was located. All born INCH, > year approximated, don't forget ages were rounded DOWN to the nearest > year ending in 5 or 0. > > Agnes Henry, abt 1827 > Alexr Henry, abt 1836 > Alexr Henry, abt 1837 > Andrew Henry, abt 1831 > Daniel Henry, abt 1841 > Jane Henry, abt 1801 > Jane Henry, abt 1831 > John Henry, abt 1801 a Tailor > John Henry, abt 1833 > William Henry, abt 1826 > Thos Wkenell, abt 1806 a Mason > > From seeing other Surnames in WIG [Wigtownshire] I suspect the very > last surname to be WHANNEL, but its strictly an educated guess. > Relationships were not given in the 1841 census, meaning it won't say if > someone was a brother, nephew or a farm servant.
