Thompson Family 1871 census COMPLETE

[Ceeoh]

Hi Roobarb, I don't think I will go the certificate route - we bitty expensive as this is extended family from the person I was originally looking for - and found, thanks to rootschat -  James's brother John.  Knowing the name of James's wife is enough to put some meat on the bones.

Hello Posteria, thanks for the 1891 and 1901 census data, did you by any chance notice if they had children?  They didn't marry until they were in their 30s (I think) and there were no issue mentioned in 1881.

All this information is very much appreciated
Very many thanks
Margaret

Hello Margaret

I am sorry but I assumed you would be able to see the census details from the references which I provided.

In 1891 they are shown as ....

James Thompson Head M 52 Fisherman Yorkshire Redcar
Eleanor do Wife M 48 Yorkshire Staithes

4 South Terrace, Redcar

Although their ages are a bit wayward in 1891, they are still living at the same address in 1901 and their ages have reverted to normal ....

James Thompson Head M 64 Fisherman Redcar Yorks
Ellen do Wife M 62 Staithes Yorks.

As you can see, there was just the two of them, at that address, on each census.

Many thanks posteria for further info and for extra detail in previous message.  The census references are most welcome should I be able at some time to view the image (not possible at present).  Our rate of exchange is so fiendishly high.  Not sure what it would cost by using vouchers on one of the appropriate sites, but I know to buy a certificate (bmd) costs us about R91 - thats a bit like someone in the U.K. having to pay £91 instead of £7.

Looks like James and Ellen were a Derby and Joan and happy with their own company.  They only married in 1874 and there were no issue mentioned in 1881.

Many thanks for your help
Regards
Margaret

Just as a matter of interest I think South Terrace in Redcar is Fisherman Square.

The Ellen Verrill who married James Thompson in Q1 1874 (reg. Guisborough vol. 9d page 763) was almost certainly the daughter of Isaac Verrill (22/2/1805, Staithes) and Ann Sanderson (7/3/1800, Staithes) who married 1821 in Hinderwell. They had 5 other children; Ellen was christened 5/2/1839 in Hinderwell

Many thanks Staithes and Shipwright 23 for the Verrill data.   I was looking for James Thompson as extended family to the younger brother John, this all adds to the history of the Thompson family I have been researching for John's descendant (my paternal cousin) in New Zealand.

Much appreciated
