  • Spouse:

  • George Thornton (1825-1883)

  • Marriage:

  • 1864 (age 27-28)2

  • Address: Bethnal Green, Middlesex

  • Census for household:

  • 2 Apr 1871 (age 34-35)

  • Bethnal Green, London1

  •  

  • Address: 16 New Nichol Street

    The household consisted of George Thornton, his wife Susan, their 4 children George (age 23), Henry (age 20), Sarah (age 16) & Caroline (age 14), and Frank Gaunt (age 14) who was a general servant. As both George and his wife Susan were hawkers at first sight it would appear unlikely that they could afford a servant. However, all the other children were working and servant's wages were very low it is just possible that the family could afford to employ one.

    In the census Susan's age is given as 35 which means that she could not have been the mother of George and Henry.
