James Thompson

[corinthian]

Hi,

Just wandered if anyone can confirm some information I have about James Thompson. His parents were John Thompson, (born in about 1848 in Hull, Yorkshire), and Emma Martin Hetherington, (birth registered Q3 1853 in Carlisle, Cumbria, England).  His birth was registered in Q1 1881 in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Northumberland.

 I am trying to confirm that he is the widowed James Thompson who, in 1939, is living in Tynemouth Rd, Newcastle. The DOB of that James Thompson is recorded as 27/12/1880. Via the registration of death in 1972, his DOB is recorded as 29/12/1880.   In the 1881 census James is recorded as being aged 3 months, which would be correct.

I have traced the Thompson family up to and including the 1901 census but then, after that, lose track of them. The only sibling of James that I can trace after 1901 is sister Emma Martin Thompson who married John Edward Courtney in 1910 and then John James Tweedy in 1919.   

Any help would be gratefully received.

Kind regards,

Coreen

Death Place:   France

John Thompson who died 1904 looks like he had an Evening Chronicle death notice in the 16 April 1904 edition - Akenside, Newcastle.

Thanks for that information. I've not used the marriage locator before but will certainly be doing so from now on.
