We have had an enquiry from Denise Clements, wondering whether anyone has any information about the former blacksmith in Thornton Steward whose name was Thompson Hall, born in 1806. His wife's name was Dorothy and they were the great grandparents of Denise's husband.

If anybody has any information about the family or of other people who lived in Thornton Steward in the 1800's or any photographs, would they please get in touch via the form on the 'Contact us' page. Denise would be very grateful and it would be interesting to include it on our forthcoming 'History' web page.
