Elizabeth Thompson

Dear aghadowey & wendy

this is the same Ohio visitor who came to Limavady at beginning of month.  Phillip Marshall is from the same family as Alexander Thompson married to Elizabeth Marshall - look back to the beginning of this thread.  They are both buried in Drumachose C of I churchyard.  It is their children I am trying to find and Alexander's father as we have always hoped that we would have a common ancestor.  I can't find out if the same Alexander is the one in my background who ended up a farmer.  He was married twice (Elizabeth was his 2nd wife) and I wonder if the Edward and Andrew are the same as my great uncles.  Still haven't found the vital link yet - ie Alexander's father and name of his 1st wife. 

Regards
Betty

The newspaper article mentioned a Hugh Thompson born c1830 & 6 brothers & 2 sisters. Are the names of Hugh's siblings known?

Correction- should be Hugh Marshall not Thompson.

[betty53]

Aghadowey - it is Hugh Marshall (not Thompson).  His youngest sister was Elizabeth.  I can look you out the other names if you want them.

Dear Mary

these dates might fit - where did you come across them?

Yes, Betty, I meant Hugh Marshall not Thompson.

[betty53]

Hugh had a brother called John (wife Lizabeth) who had a family who all lived in Ballyclose St Limavady and Elizabeth was his youngest daughter.  I will email Phillip for you and get all the rest of John's brothers and sisters if you are interested?  I was able to get him a copy of Elizabeth's marriage cert recently and he was very pleased.

Thanks Mary

I have requested birth certificates - at £6 each, this site certainly makes money!  However, since I can't get any further with them, so be it.

Dear Mary

I have tried to trace these 2 names but no joy.  Do you remember where you found them?

Dear Mary

thought you might be interested that I got a reply from familyulster.  Jane Harper Thompson is the daughter of Alexander and Elizabeth Thompson (Marshall family history) but Marshall Thompson is not - he is the son of Marshal Thompson, Derry.
