I have a William Lyons, Shoemaker who is shown on his son's baptism (parish records) as living in Blue Anchor Alley, Bunhill Row, I have yet to get any more evidence on this man who I think is my gt gt grandfather.

I dont think either of these are her as they had several more children after this time, up to 1830, it is possible the spelling is Thomson as while they were living in Scotland that is how it was spelt but when they were in England the p was added.  We are as family  in posession of the family bible albeit that it is in Canada now, but I have seen it and copied out the text.

Many thanks for looking for me

Hi Jean

William Perrot Thompson was married to Ann Mitchell the daughter of Alexander Mitchell and Ann Innerdale or Ennerdale, he had one daughter living in Johnshaven when he died and she was called Mary Ann Clark, she also died in Back Street Johnshaven, but I dont know if it was the family home she inherited or not.  I have not to date found the death for Ann Mitchell.

Hi Jean

Many thanks for having a look for me, you have been a great help at least I now know it is not worth coming up to Scotland to see his grave as there is no stone to see.

 I would still like to see Benholm and Johnshaven one day just to see where they lived.

 
Thank you again

Margery

Many thanks Jean, I look forward to hearing your reply, fingers crossed one of them is his, I have a photo of a standing stone for Thompson but that one is not ours.

If you find any more about your Mitchells you could let me know.

 I have just seen your posting about the Mitchell connection with your family, William Perrott married an Anne Mitchell in St Bees Cumbria in 1810, she was the daughter of Alexander Mitchell and Ann Annerdale.

Hi

I have an ancestor who was a coastguard in Johnshaven and died in 1857 and was buried in Benholm Churchyard, his name was William Perrott Thompson.  My cousin from Aberdeen tried to find Thompson graves a couple of years and said she could only see one but there was one flat on the ground and she thought it had W.P. on it but couldnt read it, have you seen this stone on your travels
