George Thompson
« on: Friday 04 August 17 08:28 BST (UK) »
I am wondering if anyone can help me find anything about my great grandfather George Thompson . I only know that he was living in Bubwith  when his son William was born in 1863 . I believe he probably worked as a farm labourer as that is what his son did for a living . I would be so grateful for any help .Regards Tiptop
