Hi there. I also found a passenger record for Frank and Reba, and a Margaret Thompson, age 9, for Sept 25, 1951, on the SS Washington, arriving in New York, departing from Southwick, England. There residence is listed as Glen Mills, PA. I have also found a SSDI for a Reba Thompson, born 16 May 1896, died Nov 1981 in Shermans Dale, Perry, Pennsylvania. There are a couple Frank Thompsons in the SSDI who fit the bill. Would you have a date of birth for him?

I did find a Frank Thompson, born 2 Jan 1892, died Feb 1977 in Downington, Chester County, Pennsylvania. There were also a couple born in 1893 who died in Pennsylvania, but if yours was 1892, then this could be your guy.

If there is any information that you still need, please feel free to let me know.  Frank Thompson and Anna Reba Rigby Thompson are my grandparents (my mother's parents).  I have the family tree that my grandmother made hanging on my wall.  She went to various churches in England and wrote many letters to make the tree.  I also have some pictures that I can share.
