Hello, I did put an entry here a couple of years ago but thought I would try again as I seem to have hit a brick wall.
I am looking for any relations of Oliver Thompson b.1899, Shoreditch. He had 2 sisters that we know about, Grace 1890 and Mary 1896, also Shoreditch, and we are sure there are some younger siblings. Two of his sisters went to Canada, and we know of a brother but no details. Parents were William Thompson b.1868 St.Lukes, Islington and Grace Maria Watson b.1868 Shoreditch/Hackney.
Hope someone can help
Pam

As it was noted family from Shoreditch I just looked around the London area but doesn't mean the family I found is the correct one.
Can't find them in 1901 census to check if Oliver is there or not!
