Hi Lisa,
I know this post is old but I have just found it... My partner is a descendant of the very same Devlyn family. My tree is public so you should be able to view it. I have also read he book about the Thorne family too so have heaps of info on them as well. Feel free to view my tree and if I can help in any way, yell out !!
The direct blood line is:
John Thorne married Catherine Gooding in 1816
- child - James Thorne married Mary Mogford in 1852
- child - Jessie Annie Thorne married James Powell Devlyn in 1881
- child - Frederick James Devlyn married Anne Jones in 1916
- child - Esma Fay Devlyn married Xavier Archibald Simpson (never actually married)
- child - Colleen Fay Simpson married Victor Rose
- child - Peter Victor Rose (my partner)
there is obviously plenty of other children per generation but that's where i come into the tree, lol.
where abouts do you fit in Lisa?
Look forward to hearing from you. mel.
