Have you tried FreeBMD for a possible birth in c 1964 mmn Thompson

You could also try search members trees to see if anyone has her listed

Edit. If it was still in Hebburn then the distict is S Shields , but ther are too many births to pin down from 1963 to 1965

Look on FreeBMD for a marriage. There's one in 1965 that could fit. That couple looks to be in Jarrow now.

That looks like a good possibility Shirley. Lilian could possibly still be at the same address but just opted out of the commercially available register.

Address and phone number sent by pm.

There is a genes member William who has one of her daughters Gillian In his tree !

If the Genes member called William uses his middle name then there is a birth in 1963 that could be the son that Lilian had before marriage and from the entry it looks as though he may have been adopted (there is a "/s" after the page number.

Will send the details by pm.

Have written to several Lilian Ann Thompson that married one of them was Chatt not the Lilian I am looking for thank you My half brother helped look after the boy for almost 2 years he might have been adopted after that thank you kath

Shirley~I,m getting the hang of it Report 13 Mar 2016 15:12

He could have been adopted by her husband Thomas as he is down as William Chatt as the genes member

I would be inclined to send him a message :-D

Shirley - the Chatt marriage is the wrong Lilian according to Jean.

These are the lilian@s I wrote too Chatt and Scott are not the Lilians I never received an answer from the Wilson
also as I stated she had a baby in 1964 and was not married so the Chatt and Scott marriages are not relevant so I never mentioned them and Shirley maybe you misunderstood or mis read my post
Lilian A Thompson J-S 1962 Thomas Chatt Durham
Lilian A Thompson J-S 1963 Allan C Scott Durham
Lillian A Thompson J-S 1972 William Wilson Sunderland Durham
