Is there such a place or might it be Thoresby. Found Charles Kemp in Leicestershire born 1798 born Thursby Notts.

Hi Duckweed,

Looked on the Genuki site, there is a Thurnby in Leicestershire and a Thorney in Nottinghamshire.

Hi DW,

Very small village 10miles NE of Mansfield.

Wel done Steve, didnt think of googling, though the name isnt on the towns and parishes for Nottinghamshire.

Looked up Parish records for Thoresby (that is Perlethorpe) and lo and behold there is a Charles Kemp baptised 1797 so maybe the ennumerator couldn't understand his accent. You'd never credit it. There have been Kemps in Tickhill since 1133 and this Kemp has to be an incomer from Nottinghamshire.
