Family Tree - My family are from Thornley and Wheatley Hill.|Many happy times as a child visiting in the holidays.|My grandfather was John Thomas Burrell and my great grandfather was Garrett Burrell. My grandmother was Emily Grainger and I have worked out because my mother kept everything that Garrett was married twice, firstly to Elizabeth Ann Ingolby and then to Sarah Walton. Some may remember my mother and her siblings. Kate Burrell was my mother and then John Burrell then Violet Cotton and finally Norman Burrell. I really like this site because it has put me back in touch with my younger years.All sorts of interesting things have come to light because of it. Thank you.... Collapse
