Lois Report 18 Apr 2008 01:29

Hi all, My greatgrandfather was James Thompson born c 1841 in Derby. He died in Woolwich c 1899. Children that I know of are Elizabeth (1885), Ethel (1890 my grandmother) James (1893) and Charles (1895). His father's name was Ralph. All children but Elizabeth are from his 2nd marriage. I have the info on his 2nd wife but nothing on him. Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks, Lois

Age is well out if he was born in 1841?

Wonder if 1891 census should read 52

There is a name correction against Helen Morris to read Thompson.

Not sure that is correct as listed Daniel Morris, Helen Morris and then there is a George Morris 46 listed as Head.

I would have said that Daniel and Helen belonged to George

Thank you all for the info. Some of this I already had as I do have James & Catherine's original marriage cert. I have not been able to find anything on any of the children other than Ethel. But you've given me some new venues to persue.
