Can anyone help?
I am looking for information on Isaac Thompson, a farmer from either the Hartlepool or Stranton
area. His son John Thompson (born 1849-50) married Amanda M Thompson (no relation...I hope)
of Ripon, Yorks in 1875. Her father was a farmer named John Thompson(spooky).
Can anyone help?

That would make this the 1851 entry:
Isaac Thompson aged 46 Railway Porter b Sunderland
Hannah aged 45 Walkworth
Isaac 14 Sunderland
Hannah 11 Sunderland
Martha 8 Gateshead
Robert 4 Gateshead
John 2 Gateshead.
They are, as you might guess, living in Gateshead!

Thanks for that, and that is what I originally thought.
But I sent away for the marriage cert of John and Amanda Thompson and clearly
states that Isaac was a farmer. It's possible that he went from railway worker
to farmer but he would have done so pretty late in life.

I have spoken to a distant relative who confirms that Isaac Thompson is indeed
the railway worker that you guys have unearthed (figuratively that is).
Sorry to have doubted you. It seems that most people who retired kept on
working as labourers of one sort or another to put the food on the table.
Agricultural labourers often referred to themselves as farmers.
My, they were different times.
It's off to Gateshead!
Thanks for your help.

That's quite all right Scott, we're not always right! When they put different occupations or change them it can get quite confusing, I'm working on a family with the head as a shoemaker, who suddenly becomes a labourer in a coalmine.....
Good luck in Gateshead

I've since talked to a relative who has done some footwork and found out that
Isaac's father was another Isaac Thompson born in 1771 and his mother was a Margaret
Jackson born 1774 in a place called Brancepeth. She apparently is related to the American
President Andrew Jackson and Confederate General Stonewall Jackson.
Her mother was an Ann Caslah and her father was Jacob Jackson born in 1745. His mother
was a Margaret Oston. Where are these fascinating surnames now?
Isaac Thompson Senior's father may have been a Thomas Thompson but that is uncertain and
the trail runs cold from that point on.

Just for the sake of completeness. Is there a 1861 census for this family?
Thanks

I must ask you to forgive my lack of organization. Since I have undertaken this ever growing project I have not
encountered the problems of research availablity that had plagued my grandfather the last time it was attempted. Just the opposite! I am surrounded by a sea of papers, half-drawn tree charts and different coloured post-its with bearly legible dates and names.
I just need three more things to wrap up the loose ends for the Thompson's of Hartlepool; the 1881 Census for the
Isaac and Hannah Thompson family (I doubt that either Isaac or Hannah survived to the 1891 Census) and the 1881 Census and1901 Census for the John and Amanda Thompson.
Can any of you good people help?
Scott
