Henry Jamieson Thompson where?

[duckweed]

Can't find his birth registration details.
 Did have it but computer hard drive crashed & lost some data when I retrieved it.  Heather Thompson said she remembered travelling by tram to see her. She had gone blind by then she said. She said she was a fearsome old lady. Heather wasn't born till 1948. Unless she was mistaken as she was very young she said. I have 1953 for Mabels death.

I think Wortley could be right for Harry.

Maybe Mabel died 1958, does this tie in with her age.
Deaths Mar 1958 
Mabel C Thompson age  82   
Wortley    2d   873

I must confess that I would not take a baptism as proof of place of birth but the 1881 does not say Scotland when his parents have given the information to the enumerator.  Unless there is a Scottish birth certificate I would stick with Lancashire.

Yes 1958 looks right.  Don't know where I got 53 from.  That's another confusion then as I took posthumous to mean father had died. Possibly because I hadn't found Stephen in census. I shall have to go and check everything. I have some notes from elderly relative about the children and grandchildren who stayed in Lancaster.  I know Mary married again in 1884. Other mystery is where Mary was before her marriage to Stephen as can't find her in census records either England or Scotland.

Mary Jamieson (Jammieson) is listed in the 1851 census in Wigtown library.  She was born at Marchfarm, Kirkinner, Wigtownshire (now Dumfries and Galloway) in 1850, daughter of William Jamieson. William is 56 and born in Ireland.  In 11841 census Mary wife is also listed as being born in Ireland though by 1851 this has changed to Kirkinner.  In the 1841 census there is aWilliam, 15 listed as being born in Ireland  - could he be a son from an earlier marriage? 

[heathergil]

In 1876, the year before Henry was born, Mary and Stephen had a son , William, who only lived six days.  It is possible that she went to family for Henry's birth because of this, possibly to her sister Margaret.

[heathergil]

Mabel Chisholm Thompson died in March 1956.  The Wortley record is the correct one as they were then living in Deepcar.

[heathergil]

Mary's parents, William Jamieson and Mary (nee Smith) are buried in the churchyard at Kirkinner.  The headstone was paid for by daughter Margaret ( married name Kirk)
