John Thompson b1800 died 1840
« on: Saturday 28 December 13 16:33 GMT (UK) »
Found him on FreeReg:
John died on 23 Dec 1840, at 40yo, at Little Paxton, buried at St James church.  The record says:

"Notes: These words written in name column "Killed by falling into a well at Southoe ** the top of it's*"

Can anyone help by completing/translating/filling in the blanks?   :)

Of course he did - how stupid am I?!!  I've been looking at this family all day and I think my brain has frazzled!  So I won't know where John was born.

Thank you for your very quick reply....

Yours embarrassed-ly...

Don't worry -I do it all the time :)  Did they marry in Glos or Huntingdonshire?

If no-one else finds it in the meantime I'll have look in Hunts Marriage Index when I get home on the 31st. Hunts isn't well covered online.

The family trees don't have his father's name or birth place either 

They suggest a marriage  in 1824 which I think is this one on Family Search - 17 June 1824 St. Bride Fleet Street, London   https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/NJZX-7QC   But is seems too remote from where they lived

I've got that one on the "back boiler" but - I agree - it seems too far for an AgLabr to elope to London to marry in a famous church!  I'm assuming he was an AgLab - I'd love to find out how he managed to fall down a well!
