Hi Lorraine, bit of a long shot but, wondered if you could possibly find a Joseph George Thomson and a Mary Ellen Thomson, emigrated to Canada sometime after 1922. Sorry that's all I know. In 1922 according to their marriage cert. Joseph was 25 and Mary 21.. At that time they were living in Bristol.

Many thanks

Mary

Lorraine,

Thank you soooo very much for your help with William Gadd - amazing information.

Are you able to find out where he was after WW1 - would love to know if he stayed abroad after the war or if he died over there.

Also any further info on the Rev would be great - like when he went to Canada. He may have been born in Ockham, Ripley / Send / Woking or Cobham Surrey. There were loads of John Gadds in the family then so would be graet to finfd out which one he was, as several of them were brought up in church cottages in Surrey.

Thank you again xx

Hi Lorraine,

Many thanks for the look up for Mary and Joseph Thomson, looks like they might be mine. I was wondering did they have any children with them when they returned as I believe they had a daughter also called Mary.
