THOMPSONS of Wirksworth, Derbyshire
« on: Sunday 07 November 04 17:38 GMT (UK) »
I am trying to find more details of the family of my Grandmother (GRACE THOMPSON).  Details below are from the 1901 census.

I believe she married twice.  1st marriage was to Jack (John??) WOOD.  2nd marriage to James Edward BIRCH.

Henry     THOMPSON     Head    M 37  M  Set maker stone       Wirksworth
Sarah     THOMPSON     Wife    M 30  F                        Darley Green
Nellie S   THOMPSON     Dau     S 11  F                        Wirksworth
Emily E    THOMPSON     Dau     S 10  F                        Wirksworth
Mary H     THOMPSON     Dau     S 9   F                        Wirksworth
William     THOMPSON     Son     S 6   M                        Wirksworth
Grace         THOMPSON     Dau     S 4   F                        Wirksworth
Henry         THOMPSON     Son     S 1   M                        Wirksworth

I have managed to trace people i believe to be ancestors, through the Census search on www.wirksworth.org.uk but would love to be able to verify the details.
 ???

Hi,
How strange is this:
Emily E Thompson was my great grandma.
Any other information on our family? I’d be delighted to learn more?
Warmly,
Suzanne

Hi Suzanne and welcome to Rootschat.

You may not have noticed, but the post soo2uk made was some 16 years ago in 2004 - the date of each post is given at the top.
If you click on their name, you can see they have not been active on Rootschat since 2010.

Hopefully they still have the same address and will get notification of your post and reply.

If you are stuck with your own research, you can always make a post on here asking for help.
I know Wirksworth had done a great deal of work on their history.
That link provided by soo2uk still works.
