I'm searching for the descendants of George Thompson/Thomson and his spouse Annie Elizabeth.
George was born in Scotland in 1846 and moved to England in 1857. He was a boilermaker/riveter. He was born George Thomson, but when he moved to England the name may have been corrupted to Thompson.
George and Annie had, as far as I know, ten children: Tom, George, Nixon, David, Frederick, James, William, Martha, Annie and Bella (Isabella).
I believe that for much of their married life, George and Annie lived in Drypool, Kingston-Upon-Hull.
I have a lot more information about George but what I have mentioned so far should be enough to identify him.
Is anyone else researching this family or can anyone help me with any information about George?
I'm especially interested in learning if he had any uncles. The 1891 census mentions an Uncle Elren/Elven, but I can find no other records for this person, in Scotland or England.
Our verbal family history says that George and his siblings came down from Scotland in 1857, along with his parents, Thomas and Elizabeth Thomson. Thomas is said to have been accompanied on the journey from Scotland by three brothers, at least one of whom settled in Yorkshire and became a publican. I believe one of Thomas's brothers may have been called Alexander but other than this I cannot find any more information.
I think George's father, Thomas, may have remarried a Margaret Wallis in the 1870s/80s.
If any of this rings a bell with anyone then I'd love to hear from you.
