Re: Thackray, Thackerey

Maureen, Have just read your post starting with Jonathan Thackray. I have recently visited Ecclesfield and found the grave of Jonathan and Mary. It is located next to his brother Jonas Thackray who is my 4th great grandfather.
Have you any information regarding Jonathans (& Jonas's) ancestry? I believe their parents were Jonas & Rachel Hobson.
One strange little coincidence is that William (Jonas's son - my 3rd great grandfather)also went to Canada where my 2nd great grandfather - William was born in 1848.
I look forward to hearing from you!
Steve

Hi Maureen,
You wrote this a long time ago, in fact before I knew I was a Thackray. My great grandmother Mary Thackray was Horatio's sister, born in 1847. She maried Henry Barnsley in 1873 and had two children George 1874 and Tom 1876. She died in 1877.
I was interested in tracking down Mary's siblings, so I am delighted to find out more about Horatio.
