Hi John,

I have the Hartlebury Baptisms for 1842-1950 and could not find refernece to your ancestor Leonora Thompson. In fact there was only one Thompson family listed around that time - a George & Louisa living in Bishops Wood - he was a Labourer and they had two children Baptised in St.James, Hartlebury.

However I did find your family on the 1891 Census living in Severn Sides, Ombersley and Leonora's birth place is listed as Stourport, Worcestershire. So I'm guessing she was Baptised there.
Edwards birthplace is listed as Wolverhampton, Staffordshire and all the children you mentioned are present - their bith places all listed as Stouport. There is one additional child;
'Infant' Thompson a daughter 1 month old and her birth place is listed as Hartlebury - though again she does not appear on my Baptism records but I guess the family moved back to Stourport soon after her birth as she is recorded as being only 1 month old.

You may already have this info, but thought it worth a mention!

Regards,
Clare
