Find Ancestors

Hi

Can anyone help me please I am going round in circles.

I am trying to find the parents of William Thompson b c 1829 possibly forton, Great Stainton or Aycliffe. Sorry for being so vague but on most of the census records it is recorded as UK.

He married Margaret Barron b 1840 in 1857 Chester Le Street she died in 1874. He then went on to marry Ann Barron (his dead wifes sister) in 1876.

On the 1891 census he is living with Frances Bowman b 1826 Aycliffe, who is in fact his sister.

So I now have Frances Thompson b1826 Aycliffe & William Thompson b 1829 and I just cannot find any parents or any other siblings.

Can anyone help me please.

Thanks in advance
Amanda

.........which seems to confirm birth as 1814 (or there abouts!)

........so possible marriage for parents?

JOHN THOMPSON - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Marriage: 08 MAR 1795 St Peter, Monkwearmouth, Durham, England
Spouse: BARBARA GLASPER

but as a baptism or birth doesn't show for William with parents John and Barbara, best buy the marriage cert. to confirm!

These are the same district as the marriage record for John and Barbara:-

William Thompson - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Christening: 16 OCT 1825 St Peter,Monk-Wearmouth, , Durham, England
Gender: Male Birth: 23 SEP 1825
Father: John Thompson

William Thompson - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Birth: 26 DEC 1828
Gender: Male Christening: 26 DEC 1828 St Peters,Monk-Wearmouth, , Durham, England

.....mother not Barbara, but always possible she died and John remarried?

Thank you soooo much

You have been very helpful.

.......area is a bit out but the date corresponds quite well with the baptism of the last know child?
