The records here probably do not represent the whole of the archives of the Thurston family. They throw much light on the activities of a country yeoman family in Thornbury from the later part of the 17th century. Parish and charity records included here show them to have been actively engaged in local affairs as overseers of the poor, churchwardens, feoffees of the various charities etc. Obediah Edward Thurston was an attorney practising in Thornbury in 1870, and the firm later became Thurstons, Jolly & Burbridge, now Thurstons & Setchell.
