THOMPSON in Nottingham- Please help!
« on: Saturday 14 December 19 22:57 GMT (UK) »
Hi all,

I’m wondering if anybody could please help me?
Little bit of back story-
My great grandfather William Edward Thompson was born April 1908 in Wood Green London.
He was son of Etty Brand & James Thompson, brother to Emma, Albert, Sidney, Frank & George (all Thompson’s).
William died in Jan’ 1957 in Nottingham, aged 48.

We believe he married a lady (possibly in Nottingham) and had a daughter (?) somewhere between 1935-1945. However we just cannot seam to link any records together to find out the name of his spouse and possible daughter. He left his wife and partnered my great grandmother Nora Letts Elliott and had my grandmother Norma Jacqueline Thompson in 1946. My gran is desperate to just put names to her possible half sibling, she has no living relatives above her that she could ask any more.
Thank you so much in advance if anyone is able to help, we’d be eternally grateful!
:)

Hi.
As your grandmother is still living you should remove her name from your post.  :)

What was the general type of occupation William had?

Also, do you know his EXACT date of birth?

I dont think he was born April 1908 as his Birth was Reg Sept Qtr;

THOMPSON, WILLIAM  EDWARD. Mothers mn BRAND** 
GRO Reference: 1908  S Quarter in EDMONTON  Volume 03A  Page 510

So may match exact dob I found in 1939

Unable to post 1939 details due to copyright issues. Off line soon so someone else may be a ble to PM you as I will be unable too until tomorrow night OZ time.
