Their parents are too, but I don't want to think about them.

Their last name is Thorn and all are born in Exeter, Devon. As of 1911 they were all 'assisting in business'. Apparently their father ran a bakery.
I would like to know if they got married and when they died and where they are in 1939.
Any of the above will do.

Thank you for any and all help AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH :-D
