Are you sure that you have found the correct church? earlier you said it was "Parish Church of Tamlaght O Crilly  Town" or did you mean Tamlaght O'Crilly Lower?

Hi, I thought it said Town, But yesterday we went to /St  Nossonus in  inishush and took some photo,s of the outside. Then we went back to Tamlaght  o. Crilly and found the Church of  Ireland , Church down a drive way behind the Orange Hall  and took more photo,s. There were some ladies in the Church and said they were Upper ,then after looking at the word town thought it could be Lower, so I sent the Rev Stewart an Email asking could he confirm which Church as he is over both of them and he Kindly said did we want to see the  actual entry and to look round the church  ,so it is the Lower , thanks again.

Hi tammiegirl,

Hello from Australia. I know this is very late but I also am a descendant of James THOMPSON and Elizabeth CRAWFORD from Portglenone. Their son William THOMPSON (b. ~1843) emigrated to Australia in 1864. William had a son David THOMPSON who was my maternal grandfather. Our family records here show that William's father was definitely JAMES and was born in 1809. I would be interested in any other info that you may have found in the years since your last post here in 2015.

Kind regards,
Brian Foster

Hi Brian,
I thought John Thompson was James Son but after going to the Church in Tamlaght OCrilly and seeing John & Martha Thompson Marriage in the Book ,it said John ,s Father was also called John .I do keep onlooking all I know is he came from Antrim .
Kind regards
Sandra

Hi Sandra,

Thanks for your quick reply. You may be correct. Maybe his name was "John" not "James". All we have to go on here is William's Marriage Certificate where his father is given as "James". But I have just rechecked William's Death Certificate and his father is given as "John". Maybe his name was John James THOMPSON or James John THOMPSON. Who knows? I been looking for about 20 years!

Cheers,
Brian
