Thornton Manuscript Mishaps

So, I was searching on a popular search engine for information on the Lincoln Cathedral Library MS 91, also known as the Thornton manuscript. I search "Thornton MS" and come up with Thornton, Mississippi. "Lincoln Thornton" turned up a lot of information on the 1855 debate between Abraham Lincoln and Anthony Thornton. I then found Robert Thornton's Facebook page, which is his Wikipedia page with a trawl for anyone who mentions Robert Thornton, including one woman who requests that her son Robert Thornton fix her voicemail.

Next time, I'll take the little bit of extra time to go where I know the information is.
