"Fortune Families & Connections circa 1763-1900" by Margaret (Hillier) Mullins has 23 pages of Thornhill, but I believe this is the family you want.

Robert Jessie Thornhill (of John and Rosanna) married Hannah/Ann Strickland in 1879, parents of John Robert ("John Rob") Thornhill, born 1882 (note; census has been known to be wrong) who married [1] Dinah Selina Monster (note; died 7 June 1918, Fortune, Burin death register, no cause shown, maybe childbirth, note birthdate of Jessie in census ) [2] Betsy (Bessie) Dominix (note; Bessie died 18 July 1925, Fortune, Rheumatic Fever, Burin death register) and [3] widow Emma (Green) Strong. John Robert and Dinah Selina were parents of Jessie Dinah Thornhill who married James Clarke. John Robert and Betsy (Bessie) were the parents of Molly Dixon (you say Purchase) Thornhill. (Note: Hannah Strickland, born 1853, was of John and Merina, Harbour Breton).

John R Thornhill (38) (W) (Fortune) married Bessie Dominie (24) (Belleoram) 07 April 1920, Fortune, Methodist Church


Peter Neal (33) & Charlotte Hinds (32) married 13 Sept 1883, Harbour Breton, C of E
Elizabeth Ann Neal b. 5 Aug 1891, Harbour Breton, parents Peter & Charlotte Neal
