Ἀριστοτέλης A Gloster & Hereford Boy in the Forest of Dean ><((((*>

thank you.

I think he is the son of my George Thorney and Sophia Lewis and the brother of my great great grandfather Charles Thorney.

I wonder what the story is behind his death if an inquest was held. May have to order the death certificate.

didn't notice the link to the inquests, thanks for that.

Most informative. It does look like it is the same William Thorney you found the death for.

Such a young age too :(.
