Thornicroft Query Archives 01 Jan 1999 through 30 Jun 1999 Received: Sat 1/16/99 11:54 PM Contact: cmiles@cancom.net Query: I'm interested in the name Thornicroft in that my grandfather told me we were related to them. He remembered going up a long curved driveway where his mom got some money. These Thornicrofts were apparently ship and/or car manufacturer's. Does anyone have Miller's related to Thornicrofts? How about any Thornicrofts with a Miller as an employee?
