Compton Upavon Uphaven

Hi There

I have just started researching a Matthew & Diana Compton (nee Waight) living in Upavon Wiltshire in 1841 & 1851.

I have their marriage, deaths and census etc !

They had a son called Thomas Compton b 1821 who is with them on the 1841 Census (I have his birth)

This is the family in 1841.

Thomas then joined the army (I have his military records.)

In 1853 he was discharged from the Army in Dublin, Ireland.

So, in 1873 my Great Great Grandmother Hannah Compton married in Dublin and on it she says he father was Thomas Compton, a soldier.

On the 1901 Irish Census she states she was born in Dublin (approx 1853).

So, I'm trying to work out MIGHT this Thomas Compton, above, be one and the same person.

There is NO possible Irish Thomas Compton !

After YEARS of researching, this English Thomas appears to be my only possible line of enquiry.

So, my question is, Is anyone researching this same family and possibly know what happened this Thomas.

Is he MY Thomas ?

Thanks

Tara

Hi Carol

Thanks but as I said I have their marriage.

It's their son Thomas that I'm working on and whether he could be my Great Great Great Grandfather.

Thanks Anyway 

Tara
