Title: THOMPSON
Post by: Hogrider on Thursday 15 February 07 21:16 GMT (UK)
Moses THOMPSON, was a respected and a relatively wealthy manager of a large cotton mill in Sowerbybridge during the 1880's and 1890's.  My G G grandfather was employed by the Thompson's during this time.  My G grandfather got Moses daughter Hannah in the "family" way" and they were married in April 1876, and my grandfather was born in August
Moses wife Anne nee RAWSTHORNE, died sometime between 1891 and 1901.  The 1901 census show Moses, age 75, a widower, residing with a daughter Alice Ann Parker, the wife of John William PARKER. 
Any one able to provide me with the dates of death for Moses and Anne?
John and Alice had two children:  Adenath (sic) age 9, and James, age 3 months.  As Alice is an aunt to my grandfather.  Ref 13/4121/16

Barbara,

Thanks, Moses died in the Jun Qtr 1905.

As this line is on my G grandmother's side I haven't spent much time or effort tracking it down.
