Thornber played club cricket for Manchester and Sale[1] before making his appearance in first-class cricket for Lancashire in 1874 against Kent at Maidstone.[2] He opened the batting alongside Dick Barlow in Lancashire's first innings but was dismissed for a duck by James Fellowes, while in their second innings, he batted lower in the order and was again dismissed for a duck, this time run out.[3] He was described as a steady middle-order batsman with a sound defense.[1]
Outside cricket, Thornber was a merchant trading with the East Indies.[1] He died in St Pancras, London on 28 July 1913.
