Thornbury Roots - local history & genealogy of Thornbury


The website has been designed as a central store of research material collected by members of Thornbury Museum Research Group from a variety of sources, but mainly Gloucester and Bristol Records Offices, from the Museum's own collections, from South Gloucestershire Council and directly from families associated with Thornbury. We are very grateful to everyone who has contributed and we always welcome new information and photographs.
