Thomas Thornton Gravestone

Hi Charles, I'd like to thank you for making the picture of Thomas Thornton's grave available to me. Thomas was born in 1838, his mother died in 1844 and his father in 1849. He was one of seven children who were farmed out to different relatives after the deaths of their parents. Thomas qualified as a Master Seaman in 1868. He married Rebecca Whiteside in Fleetwood in 1873. I couldn't find a death for Thomas either locally or through the national BMD's. Your photograph revealed a rather sad tale however, that he had died in March 1876 and was buried in Rio de Janerio. His only child, Edith Annie was born just three weeks later. Unfortunately, Rebecca his wife also died a month after childbirth in the May of 1876. Best regards Colin
