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 :(.

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.

I think the William Thorney on the list is a relation of mine. How would I find out more details?

thanks
