Hi,
Have you viewed the Will for a Joseph THUMPSTON, farmer of Peechelba?,
If this is the correct Joseph he has 10 children noted on the will.
Death date 22.8.1919

I have a family tree for Thumpstone/Thompstones in Cheshire from 1650.
I don't have your link but guess it is the same family.
I have a friend who is a living "nee Thompstone" with some Australian relatives
P.M. me for e-mail and we can chat,
Mike

I have a Sarah Thumpston born 1844 who is the twin of James (he died 1883). Sarah married William John Wright 25 Jan 1861, Trinity Church, Wangaratta. Sarah died 1883 in Jamieson (registration district) and William John Wright died 29 Nov 1885. I have William and Sarah's marriage certificate and one of the witnesses was Joseph Timperley Thumpston, her father is noted as James Thumpston (Bushman) and mother Mary Ann Thumpston nee Smith. I have information on the Wright family if you are interested.......Sandra

Hi Faye,
I am researching my paternal grandmother, Mary Thumpston born 1919 Wangarratta.
I'm pretty sure her father is Joseph Thomas Thumpston.
Is Mary your mother? I would love to learn more about her if so.
Thanks

Hi Faye, I got your message but the site won't let me reply or send you a new one.
I am your grandniece, Rhyl. My father was Mollie's / Mary's son to Leslie Ballantyne. They also had a daughter together Dianne. Mollie then had another daughter Vivian to I think a man named Frank.
I am in WA and I have 2 photos I can share with you. My dad never spoke about Mollie or her history. I'm still not convinced Mary is Joseph's daughter either.
Hopefully I will get this pm working. ;D

I am the 2nd great granddaughter of James Thumpston and Mary Ann Smith thru Thomas Henry Thumpston the 7th child. Would love to make contact. How do we do this without revealing out email address? This is a very hard site.
I want to find out where the rest of the family went.

Hi Dianne
Welcome to rootschat :) :)
Faye will be along soon to reply. Once you have made 3 posts you will be able to correspond by personal messages (pms). Well I think that Faye can send you one pm with her e-mail address now so you can continue corresponding offline. But otherwise you need to have made 3 posts before you can make total use of the pms.
Welcome again :)
cheers

Hi Dianne,
I am a descendent of the thumpstones. I'm Faye's niece.
I have the family tree on ancestry under Ballantyne. It's public so you can have a good look. I have your great grandfather Thomas Henry Thumpston, but no details about him.
Happy for you to contact me.
