Thornton from Baildon - 2006/10/03 09:04
I discovered, only relatively recently, that one of my 'Welsh' ancestors was actually born in Baildon, Yorkshire, in 1791 or thereabouts.
He married an Ann Jones, who was indeed Welsh, and they settled in South Wales where they had a number of children:
Mary-Ann, Eliza, William, James, Thomas, John.
I don't know if his was a Baildon family, or if he was only born there by chance.
I had no idea that there were any Yorkshire connections in my family tree, but now that my son is studying in York, maybe I'll set off to explore my roots when I visit him.
Any advice on checking out 18th century Thorntons in Baildon would be much appreciated, by the way. Thank you!
