I am searching for the family of Henry Thompson and Elizabeth Morgan.
They had Martha, Seth (my great grandfather) George, Mary, Frank, Bessie, Jane, Eliza, William and Edith. With some help I have found that they had a grandson called Arthur. I have found that my great grandfather married a Mary Ann Wadman in Shaftesbury in 1893 and that they went on to live in Portland, Dorset. I am now interested to see what happened to his siblings. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
