Richard John Thompson & Margaret Ellen Thompson - 14 Osborne Street, Radford -

[Barbara E]

Please can someone help me? I am looking for the burial of my gt grand uncle Richard John Thompson d. 1932 in Radford, Nottinghamshire - I haven't a clue how many cemeteries are in the area - the family lived at 14 Osborne Street, Radford (he was a fireman for many years at the Tobacco factory there)- his wife Margaret still lived on in the home till 1936ish but not sure where she went after that. Never found a death for her. They have two children but have never been able to get a handle on them : James Thomas b. 1912 & Margaret Ellen b. 1914

Thank you

Hi

Have you tried the Nottinghamshire Archives for the burial records, did the wife remarry and could the children have taken her second husbands name, do you have Margaret maiden name and year of birth

Hi

Yes, thanks for that,I possibly will go to the Archives, when I've found out how many burial grounds are in the area (might give them a try first when I get the details of them) - don't think Margaret would have remarried as they were in their 60's when they died. Richard in 1932 aged 60 -

Thank you

Wasn't Margaret 10 years younger than Richard?

Hi

Do you have Margaret's maiden name, because the children were born after the last Qtr of 1911 this should show up on there birth records, as Thompson is a very common name, you will need this information to identify them, do you have a year of birth for Margaret to pin point here death

It looks like Margaret was Margaret Ellen Chapple and she was born in Ireland -is that correct??

Yes that's right, Margaret Ellen Chapple, she came from a very large family, her father was a Water works superintendent, but looks like when she met my Richard they settled in Radford (he had been a fireman in London - amongst also overseas) hence the job in Tobacco factory.
I have their histories just don't know where the children might be (despite extensive searching) and the burial site of uncle Richard
