Lancashire Lookup Requests / Margaret Thompson Baptism Copp Church
« on: Monday 05 January 09 04:26 GMT (UK)  »
Could someone please check a handwritten slip of paper I have states " Mary Thompson baptised 9th May 1832. Parents Robert Thompson Schoolmaster and Lucy Thompson" My research has Margaret's mother Sarah Hargreaves! Margaret married a John Cornall and had a daughter Sarah Elizabeth - possibly for her mother Sarah and her mother-in-law whose name was Elizabeth.

I cannot find a Lucy marrying a Robert Thompson.

Margaret's brother William Thompson born about 1828 should be baptised in the same place - I hope.

On the same handwritten note I have that Margaret's husband John and his twin brother Matthew were also  baptised at Copp Church in 1827. They were from Elswick!

Her's hoping someone has access to the Register of Copp Church. Is Copp near Great Ecclestone and Elswick?

Thanks

Lancashire / Still trying Lucy Thompson
« on: Monday 05 November 07 23:56 GMT (UK)  »
 Have exhausted all of my known avenues! I cannot find the elusive Lucy Thompson b c1800 and died C1834 Great Eccleston. Is thought to have been married to Robert Thompson, and had 3 children John C1824 b Elswick, William C1828 Great Eccleston and Margaret Thompson b C1833 Great Eccleston.

Don't know if Lucy's maiden name was Thomason, Thompson she is just listed as Lucy Thompson in old family records (which also has her father as John b Thistleton a schoolmaster died 1812 Great Eccleston,) or was Lucy a "pet" name for Robert Thompson's wife Sarah, according to family she was the second wife!

Here's hoping as I can find NO record of the children's births in Elswick or Great Eccleston with my limited resources.

Thanks

Lancashire / Robert Thompson b Preston
« on: Sunday 14 October 07 05:50 BST (UK)  »
Trying to find the name of Robert's wife. Robert's first wife died in 1834 Great Eccleston 1834. They had 3 children John Thompson b 1825, William b 1828 and Margaret b 1833 in Great Eccleston. I have that the wife was Lucy Thompson but can find NO marriage record, or birth records of the children. I have hit the "brick wall" perhaps someone can point me in the right direction. >:(

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Look up please Lucy Thompson Great Eccleston
« on: Thursday 11 October 07 05:18 BST (UK)  »
Robert Thompson b 1798 married to Lucy Thompson? (I am not sure if her maiden name was Thompson, according to an entry in an old bible she is the daughter of a John Thompson and her siblings were Wm, John,Mary,Ann and James) Lucy was born in Great Eccleston date unknown, and she died in Great Eccleston in 1834. She had 3 children John b. 1824, William b. 1828 and Margaret b. 1833. I have information on her husband's remarriage, census info, marriages etc  for John, William and my gg grandmother Margaret. However Lucy is proving ELUSIVE!
Any information re Lucy would be great, even the confirmation of her maiden name, marriage or her parents.
Many thanks
