Looking for help in determining if information on Ancestry is correct regarding John Thorn and Ann Willar/Wheeler of Lower Island Cove married in 1831.

I am not a member of Ancestry nor can I access it, however I received information that there are TWO family trees on Ancestry for John Thorn and Ann Willar/Wheeler.

One of the trees has John Thorn b. 1804 as son of William Thorn and Ann Burrage of New Harbour Trinity Bay .

The other tree has John Thorn b.1801 in Westleigh, Devon, England and Died in 1875 at Lower Island Cove, Conception Bay, Newfoundland. It has Ann Willar being Born in 1814 at Cornwall, England. It also has a child Mary Ann Thorn born 28 May 1845 in Newfoundland. It lists the 1851 England census as they were living at Fremington, Devon , England. It also lists John Thorn as death at Lower Island Cove Newfoundland in 1875.

As I can't get into Ancestry would anyone have ANY information on either of those TREES and or can get me in touch with their contributors. Can Anyone access the 1851 England Census for these areas to see if there is any information there on John Thorne and family?

Thank you for your help
Len Thorne

Ann, wife, age 37, born Cornwall;
Mary, daughter, age 17;
John, son, age 13,
Eliza, daughter, age 12;

William, son, age 4;
Richard, son, age 3;
Ellen, daughter, age 1.
All children listed as born in Fremington.

Hi Len,
I agree about the 1851 Census Thorns - they are also listed on the 1841 and 1861 Census with two more children by then.
The tree with this info (England Census bit) has no sources other than just that.
There are several trees mentioning a John Thorn's parents as being William Thorn and Ann Burrage but most have very little depth to them and no sources. I did find one that had the source as St. Paul's Anglican Church, Trinity Bay - these being on this site under Parishes. This particular John's wife is Agnes not Ann - and they have children different from those you mention so I believe another different family. I did check and found this particular John's birth, baptism, marriage, etc. in the St. Paul's records on this site.

Yes, Thank you for that. My John Thorn of Lower Island Cove is a mystery. There is no mention of him in that area before his marriage to Ann Willar. I have no info on where he came from, no clues in any of the documents I've found. There are no hints in his marriage certificate, it just says "of Lower Island Cove" even though there are no other Thorne's in the area. When he died it just says again "of Lower Island Cove", again the only Thorne's in the area are his children.

The only other documents that may shed some light are Merchant Fishing records for that area, of which I can't locate.

Thanks again for your interest.

"1798 - May 24 - married Richard Thorn and Ann Quarry both of New Harbour in this district

The same day were married William Thorne and Ann Burrage both of New Harbour in this District"

Thank you for your reply. I've checked this before and can't find any connection, I believe DNA will be required in this matter.
Do you have any connection to John Thorn ?

There is one correction I would make, my great grandmother Agnes Driscoll's parents are Michael Driscoll and Ann Champion of Lower Island Cove. Michael died Jan 18, 1839. Ann remarried on may 14, 1840 to Henry Knapman Lower Island Cove.

Thanks for your interest
Len

Y-DNA testing(FAMILYTREEDNA) has been completed on Thorne originating from John Thornton/Thorne 1760's of New Harbour and Thorne of Brownsdale,Trinity Bay, originating from John Thorn of Lower Island Cove 1831.

The results show NO MATCH, Thorne of New Harbour are not related to Thorne of Brownsdale/Lower Island Cove. (If only a Torbay Thorne would get tested)

I found the following marriage in the Roman Catholic Records of Hr Grace ;

William Thorn married Marian Kane on July 1st 1816 (I believe this to be Mary Anne Keane as they show up later on as witnesses to other weddings as such)
