Thanks everyone.  This one certainly has me beat. I have John Thompson as father Richard (? another alien abduction).  Elisabeth his wife is widowed in 1841 with son Richard in Rothbury.  I can find no marriage for these either.  Rothbury is such a small place and it seems like most of them are called Thompson.  This is definitely the worst line I have followed and is even beginning to make Irish records look like a piece of cake.  Any help greatly appreciated I am totally at a loss.

I can see a John Thompson age 12, MS in Rothbury in 1841 but no Elizabeth (possible Mother) is with him.?

Unfortunately without a Baptism for John to a Richard/Elizabeth and the M/C impossible to find I dont know how you can confirm these are his Parents.

[trish1120]

Ignore that 1806 Baptism as he is on 1841/1861/1871/1881. Married to Arabella.

I have elisabeth with Thomas Detchon grandson on one census and Thomas Detchon with John And Catherine Thompson on next census.
