Hi,
I have traced a relative back to a Thompson family living in the Stilton area. By 1881 most of them were living in Dronfield, Derbyshire.
The head of the household was William Thompson (b. about 1829). Some of the children were Mary Ann, William, and Sarah S.
I would particularly like to know the name of William's spouse as he was a widow in 1881. Mary Ann's marriage certificate (1876) shows her father William to be a farmer (or should this be farm labourer) in Dronfield he is a Steel Works labourer ... seems a bit of a come-down 
Any information on the Thompsons would be much appreciated ...

If you check FreeBMD at http://freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl there's a marriage in the June quarter 1853 in St Neots registration district (which includes Toseland) of William Thompson and Rachel Bowles. If you order the marriage certificate you'll get fathers' names

Thankyou, everyone for your wonderful replies ... 
Rachel Thompson (nee Bowles) died, aged 42, Derby 4Q 1876.
I'm not sure why I had so much trouble finding the Thompsons, I guess it was because they moved from their birth area to Dronfield. Mary Ann Thompson had a ~1 year old child (Florence) at the time of her marriage to William Bradley, in Dronfield. Until I obtained the marriage certificate, I was thinking "Thompson" was from a previous marriage, there were lots of possibilities! Florence was obviously "illegitimate". There were at least 4 possible Mary Ann births in the Peterborough District and 3 possible Florence births in Dronfield.
Harriet Thompson (I now know to be Mary Ann's younger sister) is listed as a witness to her marriage to William Bradley.
Again, many thanks, it all seems to be sorted ...
