No ,Andrew does not mean anything to me. I was told Cassie,s husband was called Tommy Nelson, but Cassies mother Jane left a John Nelson her money in her will, it could Cassies husband or Cassies son,as Cassie was still alive when her mother died. WIth James marriage cert was a typed letter of the certificate as the writing on it is so bad,but what I thought was wire worker,they say it says tin worker.so I don't think 1901 census was right. On 1911 census John says he was born in antrim and the information I have says he was born in portglenone I think that is probably right . I too have been searching all day.  Thanks again

I have  just to found in the 1841/1851 census ,a John Thomson (with out the P )I am pretty sure it is John & Family .they live in Portglenone , his father James is dead .

i would interested to see where the census for 1851 and 1841 is . For these Thompsons. I have Thompsons in portglenone from around that time and there is another thread on here that has the details of someone finding them on the census for those years but some of the names don't match up to this thread. Maybe Aghadowey could find the link as I'm not sure how to do it from using my I phone . Thanks

"THOMPSON Nancy James THOMPSON Eliza CRAWFORD Garvaghy Portglenone Toome Lower Antrim 1851 Eliza Thomson 42 head widow married 1834, Jean 16, John 11, William 8, Anne 5, Eliza 2, James Thomson 4? yrs died 1850."

THe 1841/1851 census States  James Thompson husband died 1850,Wife  Eliza  ( Elizabeth Crawford )  born in portglenone 1809, married to james in drumgath  Co Down. Daughters Jane, Anne, Eliza & sons John, William & baby james who had. Just died in 1851.

Hi Aghadowey, Is there any way I can find out any more about James Thompson & Elizabeth Crawford . In the 1841- 1851 , for 1841  it say,s James was born1809 but did not say where also said he was a weaver. Pity they do not have an address in portglenone thanks

[aghadowey]

Where did you get the pension claim information from? are you sure it said married in Drumgath, Co. Down? The details you've posted don't match up with what I've found 

Pity they do not have an address in portglenone
The address is given in the record I posted- Garvaghy.

Hi,
    Don't know if this helps but there is a townland of Garvaghy in the parish of Ahoghill as is Portglenone.
