CHARLES GABRIEL THOMPSON

[paul_mc]

Was hoping for some help with another brick wall.

I have Alexander Mouat marrying Phillis Phoebe Thompson on the 23rd of May 1928 in Edinburgh. I have all I need on Alexander however there is a real mystery about Phillis and her parents. I can not find a single trace of them anywhere prior to the wedding.

Her parents were Charles Gabriel Thompson and Mary Thompson ms. Holland. Charles is dead by the time of the wedding and Mary is still alive. But there is nothing of them. No deaths, no marriage, nothing.

Can any of you good people help ?

Hello

Some questions:

What was Phillis Phoebe's age when marrying Alexander?
What was her late father's occupation?
Who were the witness to the marriage and do you know who they are?
When/where did Phillis die? any clues on death record?

Cheers

Bride and Groom were both 23 when married in 1928

Her late father was a building contractor

witnesses were James Patrick Macdonald and Margaret Douglas or Macdonald

Phillis died in Bristol England so little on the death certificate sadly

Have you found Phillis in the 1921 census?

or 1911 census?

[paul_mc]

No I cant find her.

When I look at the valuation rolls for 13 Royal Circus it looks like a hotel or boarding/lodging house - maybe they werent living in Edinburgh - simply passing through?
