A Village I Love

I was born in Edlington in 1940 but was soon given to my aunties Joan and Lilley Desborough to be looked after as my mother already had a child by my future step dad. I lived at 39 St. Thomas Road, second to end house, my next door neighbours were the Lunn family.

Spring is coming, you can tell just looking at the large rookery in the park. Summer's here - listen to the band. Fond childhood memorys. P.S DON'T touch the Kenyons pump.

In 1851 my Grandfather had a sixty acre farm at 109 Finkle Street in Thorne. His name was also Richard and his wife's name was Harriet. Is there anyone in Thorne that could share any information with me about the Watson family in Thorne.
The earliest Watson I have found in Thorne in my family line was John Watson, born about 1740, and married Ann Glew about 1770 in Thorne.
