Thompson - Born in Scotland.?
« on: Tuesday 18 April 23 14:58 BST (UK) »
I recently received a 1962 marriage certificate for a long deceased great-aunt, finally learning her husband's full name, but I can't find him on the BMD Index or any English record sites, and think he may have been born in Scotland.. other family members say he did have an accent that might have been Scottish, but their memories are a little fuzzy. The certificate names him as David Henderson Thompson, born in 1939, father's name was Joseph Meredith Thompson.

I wonder if anyone can help me find him, or his family. I have no idea where in Scotland he would have been born, sorry. :(

@Milliepede, her surname would have been Crumpler at death. At the time of marriage she lived in Blandford and he was at the Army camp in Piddlehinton, Dorchester.
