Hi, my ancestors John and Elizabeth Thompson had 10 children at Scawton, North Yorkshire.
James b1800,
Jane b1801,
Rebeka b1805,
John b1807,
Charlotte b1809,
William b1811,
Christopher b1814,
Ellen b1815,
Harwood b1817,
Robert b1819

I have deciphered most of their marriages and deaths but cannot find anything on Christopher & Robert other than Robert was a carpenter in the 1841 census and both must have been alive when their father made a Will in 1849, no burials for Christopher or Robert have been found in Scawton registers.
Can anyone find them in the 1851 or any other census? or has anyone any info about these two Thompsons?
I have looked hard myself and found very little,
All help much appreciated.
Thanks, Ed
