Hi ,
Thanks for your quick reply but you are correct, there's no connection between the families as our Thomsons were located in Perthshire until approx. 1820 when they moved to Greenock. I came across your name when you were looking for information on Archie Thomson who fought in WW1 and I was also trying to trace my Grandfather's brother Archie Thomson who fought in WW1. My Great Granfather lived at both at
13 Lyndoch Street Greenock and at Gosport/Portsmouth.Apparently a Janice McEwan had replied to one of your queries on one of the War sites and was researching, I believe our Thomsons. Is there any way that you can put her in touch with me. I have already tried through the Great War site without any luck. Thanks once again for your help.

Hi Christine, Noted elsewhere that you were looking for information on Archibald and Andrew Thomson
of Greenock. They were first cousins of my Grandfather Andrew Thomson (born 21 October,1884) as their father James,(born 19 June,1869) was my Great Grandfather Archibald Lang Thomson (born11 July,1858) brother. We only knew of one son born to James and his wife Margaret Hughes and that was Archibald Lang Thomson born 16 January,1897 at 38 Mile Street,Landport,Kingston Portsmouth, however my cousin George Thomson has researched our Thomson family back to the 16th century in Perthshire. Let me know if you would like to obtain this information and what method it can be sent to you as it is quite detailed going back 14 generations from Archibald and Andrew.
Ps I also noticed that a Janice McEwan was researching the Thomsons. Do you know how to get in touch with her?
