Hi,

I'm trying to find the marriage details of my great grandfather James Thompson DOB Jun 1869 in Widnes and DOD 11 July 1920 (Section 6 Farnworth Church, Widnes, Cheshire, UK) it appear to be a mystery  .   He married an Elizabeth, believe her last name to be Hunt.  First record of them both together is the 1901 census with a child Jane of 11 months and living at 64 Waterloo road.

I was told he may have married before Elizabeth and she had died, but can not verify this.

If anyone could point me in the right direction or offer any help it would be much appreciated.

Cheers,
Phil

James Thompson married Elizabeth Hunt at All Saints church , Liverpool in 1899.....   Liverpool    2019/LP/9/61
you will find the full details including the certificate number on www.lancashirebmd.org.uk

just checked...a possible marriage for James Thompson to Ellen Collins ... Prescot registration in 1888 ...this would make James 19 at the marriage ....if you can find James Thompson with Ellen in 1901 census, you can eliminate this marriage.....allan

Hiya Phil....NONE of these records are on Lan-opc which suggests that James Thompson was Catholic....the marriage to Ellen Collins was in either Prescot Register Office or Registrar attended...this suggests a Catholic church as well...I have found a death of Ellen Thompson in 1895 in Prescot aged 31...this would mean she would have been 24 at the marriage ....so you have to look at the bride 24 and the groom 19 ...
James Tompson b 1869 St Helens  ......SH/84/86   lancsbmd   this birth cert will give you his father

James and Elizabeth Thompson, had a son named Ernest (born Dec 1905), in 1941 he was serving as Sapper Ernest Thompson with the 7 Bomb Disposal Coy., Royal Engineers stationed in Bristol.  On the 27th march 1941, he was one of 8 members of the Company to be killed whilst defusing bombs that had been dropped during the blitz.

His death occurred at 13:30 hours when a delayed action bomb exploded.  He was buried a few days later on the 30th march at Plymouth Weston Mill Cemetery.  At the time of his death he was married to Ellen Jane Thompson, (nee Worral), whom he had married in 1928.

His parents James and Elizabeth Thompson are the same Thompsons who lived at 64 Waterloo Road, Widnes.

Hi, Phil

That is really sad news about my relation  . To die in that way, one would hope it would have been quick.

Do you have the source of your information at all, as I would like to look into his military involvement further?

Thank you so much for the information, much appreciated.

Cheers,
Phil
