There is a gravestone in Fremington (on gravestonephotos.com)
John Thorne aged 31 who died in 1875
and his brother William who died aged 50 in 1892
- William was son of John & Mary Thorne and so John must be another son, but the year of death is incorrect.

- my notes for the grave
William Thorne
10 Feb 1892
aged 50
and John (brother)
27 Aug 1875 aged 31 years
