Thompson and McCay

[spaarks]

Many thanks to all contributing to this thread, it has filled several spaces in my PAF file.
I never knew Nellie was short for Helen, but my sister Helen reluctantly confirms it!
The cemetery records are great and mostly confirm my aunt Daisy's notes, though the dates are off by a couple of days.
Some inconsistencies I need to look at though:

The children of Robert Thompson and Mary J Kerr.
The Cemetery has Christina - died at 7 weeks. Aunt Daisy has the name as Christiasian, an odd name for sure but Daisy was quite a meticulous person. If it was indeed Christina that clashes with the Christina who married Arthur Kerr.

Of the three Roberts, who is Mary Jane's husband? - because i have him as born 1855 and died 4th March 1895.

My head is spinning!!

Daisy's notes states Roberts death as 4 March 1890

The page you posted (reply #6) looks as though it might have been copied from a family Bible or some such document and 'Aunt Daisy' has probably written the name as it appeared in the source she saw.

1)   Christina Thompson – Linenhall Street, Derry, Died 30/12/1872 Age 7 weeks. Parents: Robert and Mary Jane Thompson
James Hart's and Stewart's sister, Christina, was born in 1878.
If Christina (Thompson) Kerr was a daughter of Robert & Mary Jane then she could have been named after a sibling who died in 1872 but I thought from what was posted that Christina (Thompson) Kerr was a daughter of James and Mary Thompson?
9)   James Hart Thompson, 12 College Tce, Derry. Died 4/3/1961. Aged 90 years. Parents James and Mary Thompson.
