Hello - I am also directly descended from James Allan Thomson born 1832 and Caroline Lundie born 1839 died of Typhus 1867. My great grandfather on my mother’s side was John Lundie Thomson their son, born 1860.
Caroline’s mother, my great, great, great grandmother, Caroline Ballantyne, born 1795 Drymen, Stirlingshire, died 1874, as you know was John Lundie’s 3rd wife.
John Lundie Thomson my great grandfather married twice.
He was born in Calton, Glasgow, Scotland and worked for London Midland Scotland Railways eventually moving to Whitstable w his 2nd wife, Edith Nora Reeves (Mops) who was from Whitstable. They had one son Bruce 1910-1967.
His first wife Ellen Boxell had 3 children, Colin, Elsie and my grandmother - Doris Lilian 1886-1948 who married my grandfather William Frank Rees 1885 - 1968.
I can find info on his second wife Edith Nora Reeves and their son Bruce but little about Ellen, my direct ancestor or her siblings or parents - so any links or suggestions would be splendid.
Reading your conversations about our ancestors has been really amazing.
Regards Jenni
