George Thomson moved to South Africa, and married Mable in 1895 at Fordsburg,
Johannesburg. He may have been a miner.
They had a daughter, Barbara Muriel Alfreda Thomson, b. abt 1920
George died in 1928.
Mable died in 1943, Barbara was her sole beneficiary.
There were a lot of George Thomson's born in Scotland....I hope this might 'ring a
bell' with someone!

I am sure it does to someone somewhere, I was just chatting with a George Thomson the other night in this chat room but I am sure it was a different one, as he is in his twenties and your George would be about 170 by now, which is why its so funny I came across this post about a guy with the same name while doing some research on my family tree.

Welcome to Rootschat.

Are you sure about your dates?
George born 1856
Married 1895 age 39
Had Barbara 1920 when he was age 64
Mable would be 50ish also.

Trish :)

EDIT I have seen the Marriage, 39/25 and Widower/Spinster.
Must be other children if married 1895?
